The movies

We went to the movies last night. We saw Shrek the third and we loved it. We had to go to a few places because tickets were sold out. I was scared that we would have a disappointed almost 6 year old. But it worked out of course it was past his bedtime when we got home. My son looked so happy and I'm glad we had the opportunity to do this. Then, around 3 am he was sick again it has not been the healthiest year for him. I hope this is it!! We all suffer when he gets sick. NO SLEEP.

Mother's Day

I just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful moms.

I hope you are appreciated all year.

Lots of happiness and love. If you are pregnant it still counts--so congrats.

Ladybugs

Our larva (ladybugs) arrived on Monday. They look like little crawlers, the children called them roaches. They were told not to tap or shake the container but of course we had many "accidental" shakes. The tennis match using the magnifiers as rackets and the ladybugs were the ball. Then the same day another girl began to shake them while smiling. I do not know how some have still survived. I guess some children have to hear the same thing more than others. Hopefully the rest will be able to make it to adulthood.

It makes me sick

My sister in laws' brother was attacked on the way home for money. I hate that the world can be so violent and cruel. He ended up with a black eye and a lot of swelling. He was hit with some sort of wood stick. The thing that makes it worse is that he has a tumor in his head and that is the area that got hurt. His mom and sister were very worried, he had an MRI and thank God everything was okey. I wish things like these would not happen.

The End

I can't believe how fast this semester went by for me. I have done so much and it feels like it has gone so quickly. Especially, when I think of the two classes I had. I learned a lot in both them and I know I will miss them. Who knows what awaits me for the next semester. I have to take three classes because they are not offering anything I need in the summer. I rather take courses in the summer because I would not be working at the same time. I guess it is meant to work out that way. I think my son and I will get something out of spending that quality time together. We will be taking swimming lessons during the summer. I have to learn because it just sucks to stand in the water. It will be more fun and exciting to get into the water and know that you can do something in it. Besides you never know when swimming will come in handy. Maybe then I won't be scared to go on a cruise. It won't hurt to learn something new and it will be something that I will use.

The gardens

I discovered the Botanical Gardens, yesterday after we went to the softball game. Of course, my husband's team lost. They have been known for that. It was nice spending the day outside. It's easy to get used to the routine of the day. I was tired but it was a change of pace that I had missed. We enjoyed the time and day together and we have to take advantage of days like that more often. If anyone has ideas on what we can do, please let me know. I heard that the weather will not be so nice the rest of the week, rain... again. But at least, we had the weekend. Tomorrow I get to see my sister and give my niece her birthday present. I hope she likes it because she can be picky.

Virginia Tech

It' s unbelievable what people can do to hurt others. The families and the agony they must be going through at this time. It is so scary and sad at the same time how things like this happen to so many people. I don't understand how this could happen. How can we prevent this from happening again? I can't believe how cruel the world has become. It just seems to get worse as time goes on.
