So, one thing I don’t like about blogging (on Yahoo) as opposed to just keeping a regular journal is that if you miss recording an entry on the correct day you can never go back and fix it. Which is why today’s entry was actually last night but couldn’t be uploaded because my computer was being so funky and frustrating that I am about ready to throw it out the Windows. (ha, ha – get it? “Out the Windows”… it’s a computer running … Microsoft….Windows……sorry, I digress.) Anyway, here’s a little geek tip for you – gaming machines are for games. They are not designed for real work. It confuses them. They overheat and die. And while people may not be able to “take it with them” when they die, computers can. They take it all. All the data, all the special settings… All. I’m not bitter or anything.
****** So anyway, about last night *******
Did you know that a child can drown in an inch of water? I share this fact as I listen to my children bathe together in the other room… without adult supervision. I am so not the protective mother type. Has anyone else heard about the so called “helicopter†parents or as college admission personnel call them, “black hawks.†They are so obsessed with keeping their children “safe†(and isn’t that a relative term?) that they never allow them to make their own mistakes or learn about true independence. Consequently, these children are growing up and going to college without a clue. I’m so glad my children won’t have that problem… assuming of course they survive bathtime.
