Nice Day!!

Today started off so hectic for me, I had to go to my half-sisters mom funeral. My daughter have swim class on Saturday mornings, so I got my older daughter to taker her for me. It is such a beautiful day outside. I want to go to the park and feed the ducks. All I can think of right now is the pain my two half sisters are feeling right now. After the funeral services I enjoyed the nice day out.

Is it Spring Break Yet!

I'm counting the days down until spring break. I want to take at lease one day to do something relaxing for myself and  another day to clean my house from top to bottom. I have closets to clean out so I can give clothes to the Providence House. I already have about four large trash bags full of clothes in my trunk now. The day is not long enough, seems like I have so much to do with little time. I think I will treat myself to a spa day. My daughter will also be on spring break at the same time so I will be putting her to work.

"My Five year old is So Funny"

I have to admit that my five year old daughter is so funny. We we're watching something on the Disney station and she told me "you ruined my life."I asked her what she mean by that and she said" You want let me sleep with you." I'm thinking to myself, I've runined her five years in this world. This was so funny to me I had to go to another room to laugh. She recently was tested to go to a Magnet school and on Thursday we passed by the school. I said "Morgan that's the school you might go to, we're just waiting on your test scores to come back." I'm still driving and Morgan tells me " I don't want to go to that school, It's Lame and I hate it."  She's talking like a teenager, so I have to stop that before it goes any further. We've had a long talk about things to say and not to say. I'm just waiting to see how long its going to be before she says something else about what she hates.

"School District Apologizes"

A school district in Central Ohio apologized for using a mock slave auction to teach social Studies to Elementary school students. When I read this story it disturbed me tremendously. A ten year old African American boy played the role of a slave and he was offended by this. The class was divided into slaves and masters. The masters had to bid on the slaves and they had to touch their arms, check their teeth and legs. The reason why they checked all of this is to see if the slave was strong enough to be a slave. Now I wasn't back in the slavery times, but I've read about it and my dad have told me many stories that his mother told him. My heart ached after reading this story. Slavery was so painful to so many people and to have a class of Elementary children playing slave and masters was wrong. A spokeswoman for Chapelfield Elementary school in Gahanna, Ohio said the slave auction was part of the state required curriculum. She also stated that it was a one time curriculum lesson. I 'm just wondering who made the curriculum for this district and why make students do something so horrible? I'm just relieved that the district have apologized.
