Catching Up

I have to catch up. I've only done two posts in May. I had my blog anniversary in April. Can't sit back and let this thing just die a slow death. Today was Noah's kindergarten graduation. Sort of anyway. It was more like a sing along since there wasn't really anything graduation-ish about it. I think they should have taught them all to hum Pomp and Circumstance. That would have been fun. The other day I was reading this book to Noah. Actually, singing it. It has these silly songs set to the tunes of other songs like "I'm Still here In The Bathtub" instead of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game". He was enjoying my singing, of course. Who wouldn't enjoy me belting out "He's Got The Whole Beach In His Pants" (world in his hands) with my untrained voice? I was doing a song to the tune of "The Wheels on The Bus" and he gets this look of recognition on his face and a big grin and yells out, "All through the town!" It was like the most exciting revelation anyone has ever discovered. It was very cute. Then he got his joke book and laughed hysterically at jokes he probably wouldn't even get ten years from now. I mean, come on. This book was published in 2003 and it had a joke with a reference to the actor Don Johnson. Huh?!?
I've been trying to get registered for school in the fall. It looks like I will be taking "Math For Losers" and "Computers For Idiots". I decided to start at square one in the math since I haven't taken a math class in over twelve years. I didn't even bother testing into it or a higher class. I figured brush up on the foundations again so I can do well. After all, I'm constantly googling Isabella's math to remind me how to do simple things like subtract fractions. So it's a little humiliating that the class is considered "remedial". And to make matters worse, pour a little salt in the wound....They charge an Extra Fee for the remedial classes! Oh the humiliation!

Cindy, I'm proud of you for going back to school! That is so awesome -- good for you! Don't feel bad about Math, I'm right there with you. I think Lauren was in third grade when her math homework got to be too much for me! Sad, but true. And you know what else is true? I NEVER use math in my daily life. Never ever, ever. Those math teachers were liars!

Cindy, I'm glad that you commented on my blog and I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I had to ask my mom who you were. You were right--Other than Dorine's Kids I don 't really know anyone on that side. I enjoyed looking at your blog, you have some good looking kids there!

Hi Cindy! Thanks for coming to my blog. That's so funny that you guys saw ST for your anniversary, too! I had totally forgotten you had the same time as us for your special day. :)

I want to see this new curly hair! And wow, back to school? That is awesome! What will you be studying for a degree?

Cindy said...

Kiirsi-
The curly hair is gone, fortunately! Unless I air dry my hair and scrunch it up good with product in it.
I'm going to school for elementary ed. Still a little nervous but excited too!
