I have a lot of extra stuff in my house. SO….I decided to go through a bunch of my things and get rid of what I didn’t need anymore. NOW….I’m not crazy (maybe a little). I didn’t get rid of anything important. I kept glasses I was given to sleep in after my lasik surgery. You never know when you might need to wear those. I kept the 18 Ikea-like allen wrenches, just in case. I still have the 12 pairs of 3D glasses I ordered by mistake in “Linear”. It’s too late to return them and who knew I needed “Circular”? AND….I’m definitely keeping the chain link bikini, although it is cold as hell. They say it’s one size fits all, but that’s a bunch of bullshit. I need to lose a bit more weight unless I want to attach some bungee cords to each side. AND….How silly would that be? Everyone knows those get attached to the bedpost.

No sir. I only got rid of the unimportant stuff. I had an entire box of educational material that had to go. I mean really, my kids aren’t geniuses. They aren’t complete dummies either, but when do I have the time to fill their brain up with more stuff. They’re in school all day, then homework, XBox , television…..enough is enough! You can see the dilemma I was in. As parents we have to set priorities.

For a short time, I had one of my dear friends tutoring my son. I also homeschooled him for a short time (4 days), but that’s a another story. Anyway….I found a letter he had written, which she apparently assigned to him right before the tutoring stopped. She was teaching him how to write to a friend. He wrote to her grandson. You can see by his work that she was an amazing teacher and he loved her dearly.
