homework

Did ya'll know Kindergartners get homework now? Oh, and that their teachers give out sugar laden candy the first time they've met the kids, with out checking w/their folks if they can't have it for whatever reason???

I have my entire family on a pre-diabetic diet, because of general health reasons. I believe the overload of candy that a lot of parents give their kids every day is part of the child obesity problem plaguing our society at this point in time. Plus, all that candy and juice gives cavities.

My son avoids brushing his teeth like it will kill him. It is insane trying to get him to do this simple thing. I've tried every trick in the book to get him to comply. He's really getting too big to hold down to do it, considering he's almost my height now. (He's only like a foot shorter than I am, at this point.)

Is it just me, or is it simple common sense to find out if a child can have candy before just handing it out to a class room full of five year olds? And why didn't they make it a healthy snack instead? There are plenty of healthy snacks out there that kids adore. At least mine adore them. Now, don't get me wrong, my son will grab at any processed sugars he can get his grubby little hands on. But, he does love things like fruits, and veggies.

Isn't one of the things they're supposed to teach is proper eating habits? And isn't processed sugars a big No-No in that area? It just seems to me to be sending out the wrong message.

Is it just me???

Will accept her whipping now...

I'm sorry ya'll. Things have been chaos here. Hubby is possibly facing surgery soon, and I have been overly hormonal.

So, I haven't been able to sit down and put down coherent thoughts together for awhile now. Things (hopefully) are starting to calm down now though. Superboy starts school in just over a week. Then I'll have just the two lil ones to watch during the day. Then the roomates son leaves at the same time she and hubby go tdy. So, then I'll just have one lil one during the day until the new baby is born.

Chaos will reign my next five years. easily. After thinking about that, I need a nap.

Okay so I gave everybody 10 days instead of 7......WARNING SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

Is there life after Potter?



I thought the book went great considering everything she had to make sure she did/put in.



WARNING SPOILER WARNING SPOILER WARNING SPOILER



I thought killing off three of the people she did was extrememly sad. It made me cry a lot. A twin should never go through life w/out the other one. And that poor baby without his parents.



I LOVED that long rambly part w/Dumbledore. It was just so random. But, then she always has done that. She's a very random kind of writer. The oddest of things just pop up out of nowhere.



The biggest thing I would have changed was I would have brought back the snake from the first book. The one Harry let go from the zoo?



That would have been pretty cool.





KAY SPOILER OVER



In other less magical worlds the hubby is sick, again. Super
