Today is day 64 and 430. I have gone without soda for 430 days now and am quite happy with that. Day 64 is without facebook. I am happy with that as well. Bri still thinks I will break on the facebook thing. Funny thing is, with the exception of a precious few (like 2-3) people I don't miss it. One big reason is I can stay out of the the silly drama that inevitably seems to unfold on facebook. It seems like one big party line now, 'cept with computers and smart phones instead of telephones.
Anyway, off that tangent, my boys just finished a science fair for fourth and fifth grades. They did really well and I'm very proud but I'm also a tad bit upset with judges. Do I think both should have come out on top, of course I'm a dad and that's the way dads think, but I was not there and could not say for sure without seeing all of the other projects, did see a couple in the morning and one on-line. On-line? Yea, Bri showed it to me from facebook (no that doesn't count). All that I saw looked pretty good, one was strangely exceptional, hhhhmmm. Now, what I'm upset with is how do you give awards to kids that obviously did not do their own work? Ya see, I'll help my boys but they won't learn squat if I do the work for them and also if you do their project are you proud of their work or your own? Struggling to not blog angry here. I have deleted about four different comments now. Most of it was about parenting and I think one was about society in general. As you might have guessed none of it was very ....nice. So I guess I'll stop with that for now cause all I'm doing now is just getting pissed thinking about it all and other events that happened.
Guess its time to run some of this anger out. Thanks for reading. See ya.
