What I've recently learned

Here's what I've recently learned -

  • - Even though my best friend is thousands of miles away, life without her would be intolerable.
  • - It's possible to mourn the loss of someone you haven't seen in over ten years.
  • - Everyone sees past events differently.  What might mean the world to you, can easily be forgotten by others that also experienced it.
  • - I'm not a great writer (although I plan to keep trying to become one).
  • - No matter how old I get, I am always going to come across women who don't like me for reasons that have nothing to do with the person I am.
  • - Some things I never learn - no matter how old I get. 
  • - Sharing a history with someone does not create ties that bind. 
  • - I am an expert at beating a dead horse.
  • - There are extraordinary & generous people in the world.
  • - Being far away when trouble hits is just as hard as being there to witness it.
  • - It never ceases to amaze me that my husband truly loves me for who I am. 
  • - You don't need more than a few really good friends in life.

Our Disaster of a Day!

My in-laws just left after a five day visit.  I don't mind it being a five day visit, but then again, five days of your house not being your own is always a bit unsettling and although I don't look forward to their departure when they are here, I can't say I'm sad to have things go back to normal. As a treat for my son's birthday, we took him to the Museum of Natural History in London on Thursday.  He chose to go because we took him last year (he's been crazy about dinosaurs since he was three years old).  They give out adventure packs at the museum which consist of a back pack, safari hat, and binoculars with an adventure to follow during their visit.  The back pack has clues in it to solve a mystery.  Last year it had a dinosaur claw, a tooth and a sample of dinosaur skin he had to match up to one on display.  He had a great time solving the mystery and even remembered which dinosaur it ended up being. Last year's trip was wonderful.  We walked right in,

Fight Club for Five Year Olds - Part 2

The other mother and I went into the school to meet with the teacher and the assistant head.  We both let them know how upset we were that we were not informed that our children were sent to the office and how much we were against the children being allowed to play fighting games on the playground.  I told them I wouldn't allow it at home and I'm really unhappy that it's being allowed at school.  They admitted it was a problem and explained that they are planning to introduce a a scheme to teach the children to play in a safe way.  They will be calling it 'Super Hero Training'.  They plan to give out capes & masks out to children who behave well as rewards at playtime.  They will have assemblies where they will teach the children to play fighting games without making contact.  I find this to be absurd.  The problem has gone on to long and I doubt they will be able to teach little children to change their games when they have sixty other children to look after on
