I hate asking my husband for help. I can never expect it right away, unless it has to do with food. I can ask, and weeks will go by. Either things just don't get done or I just do it myself. My son is turning into that same guy. I ask him to do things, and they don't get done. I asked him to clean his room. He rolled around on his bed for literally 4 hours yesterday, complaining profusely that it is unfair that he should have to clean his room. That was yesterday. It's 4:44 pm. I told … [Read more...]

Civil Discourse

Let me start by saying, I don't like my city councilperson. I didn't like her when she was on the school board, I don't like her now. I think she doesn't listen, she is out of touch, and she sides with power, not with people. Just my experience. When her District 9 Newsletter hit my email today, I read it. I don't normally. It's mostly rah-rah stuff. I read it this time. I want to know what we are going to do about the police. There was some fluff, then the protest is ok as long as... … [Read more...]
Days meld together

It's the last day of school. The teachers closed the classrooms and walked away. Any hopes I had for continuing learning over the summer using SJUSD resources is gone. I had asked for the social studies classroom TCI program to remain open so Sean could work on the things he just didn't get too. Sigh. When things go slow, there really is no opportunity to catch up. John reminded me that we still had the text book. We will move back to paper. Speaking of paper... John rode into … [Read more...]

I'm still keeping pretty silent on social media. The school district said that testing and contact tracing in place before the kids can go back to school. I don't know of many parents that are going to go for that. I don't mind the contact tracing, but the testing... It's not a comfortable thing. I'm just not sure. I'm sure that the contact tracing is going to be a problem for most. I made dinner at lunch time today. I like it better that way actually. I'd rather snack at dinner. … [Read more...]
The aftermath of LOAD…

I'm not done with LOAD. Yeah, I took a break. But I still want to scrapbook, still want to tell stories. Still want to talk about what is going on in the world, even if I am part of the problem. Knowing I'm part of the problem, I'm working now, but not posting until June 9. That way social media can be used for those whose voices need to be heard. That's not mine. I noticed that my 2016 album is quite light. It's not that there weren't stories, it was that I was in mourning for my … [Read more...]
