la di da
thurs night kristen and i headed home. the ride home through the mountains was beautiful. i'm a sucker for nature and all that foliage.
friday i ventured to the high school and saw mrs ricco, mrs lazarus, ms deangelis, ms taurassi, mrs oill and some other teachers. although i've only been in college for like 8 weeks, high school feels like such a part of my past. it was good to go back though.
then i made a surprise visit at the daycare and got tackled by little 1 year olds. i found out one of the "new girls" who works there now went to elementary school with me. crazy small world.
shopped and such on saturday, watched movies, and was pretty much bored out of my mind. mom and i got into a bit of an argument, but i think things are okay now.
it just feel so weird to be home. like good weird, but still weird. and i couldn't sleep in my own bed again for some odd reason.
today my mom made me my favorite eggplant parm, and then dad, kristen and i headed back. the sign on the elevator says it will be broken till thanksgiving break now. that better not be true or i'm suing the school. when i finally made it up the stairs, i wanted to pass out. and i realized that my rib is hurting me probably because of the heavy duffel bag i lugged around through penn station 2 weeks ago.
came back, cleaned like a madwoman,saw some people, and now i'm here.
before i go, i think you should read this.i read it in newsday this weekend.
What to tell the kids-
Kids tearful over a Yankee loss? The home team's devastating American League Championship Series defeat can provide life lessons, if parents handle it correctly.
Ted Feinberg, assistant executive director of the National Association of School Psychologists, offers this advice:
Emphasize the positive. Tell kids the Yankees' long history of excellence has elevated baseball to a new level. Now, other teams are catching up, and that's healthy for the sport. Tell them the Yankees will be a power in baseball for many years to come.
- Remember that everyone has bad days. Tell kids that, no matter how much skill and preparation, everyone has bad days, and the Yankees have no reason to be ashamed.
-Stress good sportsmanship. Tell kids it's important to be a gracious loser.
- Discuss the historic nature of the Series, and resilience of the Red Sox. Remind them that the Red Sox defied the odds by battling back from three games down to win, proof that when you're down, you're not necessarily out.
-Finally, look forward to the spring. It's OK to say, "Wait until next year."
i'm sorry, but is this supposed to be taken seriously?
what does one "tell the kids" when grandma dies?
yankee fan or not, i'm sorry, but this is complete insanity.
