a Lazy saturday
by kira_p at 9/25/2010 2:17:35 PM
I am on a bit of a high still because I put a desk top computer together, plugged it in and it did not explode...it WORKED Internet and eveything! OMG! I am the biggest techno idiot out there and I experienced success in a technological endeavor...cloud 9 no, more like cloud 11 or so...lol So what is new in Kira land? I now have internet and a computer at home so I will be on line a lot more now. I even joined facebook and re connected with a bunch of old classmates from high school. I even agreed to go to my 25th high school reunion. Oh boy. I went to a private all girls Episcopalian church affiliated school for 12 years straight. I received a very good education but was really out of place there. I was voted class non conformist. There are a lot of very successfull people, and a lot of soccer moms. Now there will be a tattooed mom there too! I am not worried, I was well liked though not always understood, I was even a bit of a jock... MVP of the volleball team so I think I will have fun showing pictures of Kayla and talikng about those past, innocent days. Everything was decided for us, from classes to lunch. No bills, no real worries. I hate to admit it but I bet it will be a blast. When I was there all I could think about was getting out and now I am voluntarily going back! I have to laugh. My friends have all commented about my memory of events that happened in elementary school. I have a memory of an elephant. I can close my eyes and see things and events that happened 30 plus years ago. I hope I always have that ability. On a deeper note. I think that losing one's mind through dementia etc. would be hell on earth. I lost an uncle to altsheimer's (sp?) and it was hard to see my aunt go through that. He did not even recognize her towards the end. I try to keep learning and exercising my brain so fate's willing I will not have to go through that. In other news my daughter started kindergarden although she missed her first week due to a bad ear infection. She is shy and it was hard to let her walk through those doors that first day, mama cried but I did not let her see. She is doing well and I am so proud. I hope to volunteer at her school to help out and see what is going on behind those closed doors. We really should be putting more money into schools instead of sucking it out. It makes me very angry that teachers are not paid much better to attract the best talent and even the most basic things are hard for them to come by. We had to provide a laundry list of things for kindergarden. I was happy to do it and more to help my daughter and her peers flourish and learn but the system is pretty screwed up and getting worse. My brother posted something about the Texas board of education using their power to take out most scientific theories of the universe's creation etc and to eliminate all other religious views that were not Christianity. Glad I'm not in Texas...or my daughter would be home schooled. Well I have rambled on enough for now. Until next time...
