Sep. 28th, 2009 01:15 pmLife has been too busy to post much.
In brief:
-Super N has been getting into fights at day care and school. ( Read more... )
-Miss E apparently has no fear. She stopped my heart 2x at the Susan G Komen "Race for the Cure". She'd been walking next to me and in front of me and suddenly she was GONE!!!!! She apparently took it on herself to stop and was swept away by the crowd both times. Did I freak? OMFG YES! And did she freak? No. She seemed perturbed that it took me so long to find her - no fear at all. ARGH! Super N bounced along for almost the entire 5K of the "race".
-We (still) have no dishwasher. The family is tired of the same old take-out, so Friday we took the kids to Thai. The kids like deep fried taro root (I told them it was Thai French Fries). Super N LOVES chicken satay (without sauce) and chicken in mild curry. Neither likes spring rolls. Miss E... well, she didn't eat much and got hungry later on. But Super N was a total pleasure to eat with. It makes him fun to take out.
-Susan G Komen on Sunday was fun. Took BART.
-Layoffs at work shortly. At least the guess-work and speculation will end. So will some of our jobs... sigh.
-Mom R had shoulder surgery. She didn't come out of it smooth but new drugs have been acquired.
-Still no dishwasher. sigh.
-took a friend bike riding on Saturday, proving I could do that WITHOUT breaking someone. Yay.

Personal Responsibility
Sep. 28th, 2009 04:21 pmI am deep in thought and perturbed about recent drama.
I feel a long philosophical post coming. Maybe tonight if I can tackle the mountain of dishes in the kitchen. It has to do with bullies, Big Brother, our rights to peacefully gather, our rights to speak out, and laziness. Laziness of thought, laziness in allowing events to follow a course without speaking out, laziness in following protocols (i.e. the rules)... Choosing to be silent is still choosing. Allowing someone else to make your choices is still choosing.
