New decade new post
It's the new decade and I'm already a little unsure about its start. N bonked his head and we ended up in the ER for a STAPLE. It was pretty inhumane - but much faster than stitches. I am directly dreading when it gets pulled out on Saturday! Then this morning the alarm didn't wake us, not because I didn't set it, but because I didn't check the volume level and of course it was silent. Everyone got to school as close to on time as to not call it tardy, but N needs a few minutes in the morning to get his act together if he is going to finish his morning work on time. I am pretty sure his teacher thinks I am a flake of a Mom who can't get her kid to school on time! Flake or not, I spent most of the weekend with N (I brought him to see my Dad, C stayed here for a birthday party and some quality Daddy time). He had a great weekend, despite the ER visit. N loved that I let him run wild where I never thought I would. In a pinch for some kid fun on a cold day?

If you want to get really angry, check out the book _Higher Education?: How Colleges are Wasting our Money and Failing our Kids -- and what we can do about it_ by Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus. It took me a while to read the book because I had to take notes and yell about it occasionally. I'd be interested to hear your assessment as a Smith grad. They also have good things to say about Raritan (sp?) CC.
