Waste of TIME?

For all my readers I want to take the time to list all the things I do in a day to waste time, take notes.  

1. Webkinz, yes I do my garden and daily activities every morning with my breakfast and tea.  On my account, not the kids.  

2. Bloggin'

3. Realtor.com  

4. Facebook (as of today, thanks Nicole!)  I just have to say I got lots of friends that emailed me within minutes of signing up on Facebook. Do you all just keep it on your browser?  I did see someone I went to school with and he has not aged well.  I'm keeping my picture and maiden name top secret!   

5.  Photoshop elements designing a background for #2.

6. Online news, I can't watch my news because of the kiddo's.  I read more than I should like entertainment "news".  I can tell you what kind of car Paris bought last month, great things to know! A Pink Bentley in case you too need to be in the "KNOW".  Yes, pink.  Do you want to guess the cost?  

7. WIKI ~ never ask me a question I can't answer because I will WIKI or google it.  Loads of useless information upstairs.  LOADS!  BUS loads, maybe train loads!  

And last but not least #8

EMAIL!  I love the sound of my BING!

Those are your adult activities. Don't beat yourself up too much but there is always room for improvement.

I stopped to think about all the TV shows we used to watch each and every week. Talk about a waste of time???

I can justify doing junk on the computer but it isn't much better than the boob tube, I guess.

Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook

It has been 24 days since I changed my password and logged off Facebook. I have logged on twice to see if anyone messaged me and logged back off. Which I am glad that I did because someone messaged me about math tutoring. The only thing I missed was if someone had had their baby. I was interested to know and while I tried so hard to stay off Facebook I did search her name just to see if she had the baby. Then I thought if she did have the baby and I don't know then are we really friends?   We are not friends by the true definition, just virtual Facebook friends. Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook 1. Selling of Rodan & Fields, LuLaRue, 31, Ketones or Scentsy.  I like some of these products and support you 100% and hope you do well.  The multiple posts on your product daily but nothing else in your life, blah. 2. Bragging. I love to see pictures of your vacation, if it isn't the only time you are on Facebook. 3. Posting fake news. 4. Making a comment I ...

Self Correcting Error

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.    ~ Thomas Edison   As a parent I really struggle with how much should I meddle in the affairs of my kids. At what point are you just making your kids decisions for them? Recently I went to a winter retreat with a group of middle and high school students as a chaperone. We had fun, but as a chaperone we were talking about a choice one of the kids was making and the other parent said to us along the lines of it will be a "self correcting error".  At what point do we has parents let our kids fail, not to be mean spirited but at some point you learn by error. Clearly something that is going to cause them or others physical or emotional harm needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. What about the kid that wants to take AP history? The class you know will be hard. It will take a lot of work and might not be worth the AP credit. Do you let them never even have ...

180 Days

Oh sweet summertime, you are missed already.  One of my kids said that the school year is the beginning of a 180 day sentence.  Makes a mother with a teaching degree sad.  I love learning. I don't love the system of education and why I am not a classroom teacher anymore but I understand some of her complaints. I am the mother of a freshman in high school. At a brand new school. No one went to school there ever until a couple of weeks ago.  I told her the first couple weeks could be hard. The plus to being a freshman in a new school is that it is new to everyone. I knew that even though the building cost 75 million to build that things were not going to be ideal.  Boy was I right, I don't always like being right. Some things are a mess.  Some things are getting better each day.  There are things I can not understand and probably will never understand.  Even as a parent that has been a classroom teacher with two degrees in education I can't make...
