Mama Mia Chronicles

It's Monday! Do I need to say anything else?

Anyway, the whole last week felt like one big Monday! This Monday is a beginning of our 3rd week of Kindergarten and 2nd week of my school. You see, I'm trying to get my degree in psychology, and with the rate I'm going I'm just trying to beat my 5 yo to college graduation.

Things have started off well, it is just that I am having problems adjusting. This is first time I have kid in school, and for those who don't have any (you lucky bastards), there is so much to know.
Information overload!
You must know what day they have what center, so that you can dress them appropriately (ok, this hasn't really been a problem, because boys are easy to dress, just some pants and shirt and you're done). Then, you have to know what they are having for lunch, and then you have to decide if it is something that your child will eat. If not, then you have to pack a lunch. Then, there is a snack, and you just can't send some Orioes you know, it has to be nutritious. Well, this wasn't really a problem either, because my child loves him some carrots and apples and bananas and raisins and oranges and so on. So, snack is easy part.
Then we have all those papers from school. You know the ones that never stop coming and the ones that are overflowing my dining room table as I type this. I have found myself on few occasions, last week, staying up late so I could catch up on all that reading. It is not a joking matter, you just can't be out of the loop.
Then there are box tops (why did I get myself into this, why), homeworks, volunteering and of course - soccer!

Then, there is my school! Society and Technology, and Intro to Business. Now, someone has failed to mention to me that these two are almost the same class! Which means that I'm reading the same thing twice (problem is that I forget which one is which). I guess this way some of it may stay in my long term memory, but the thing is anyone who breathes already knows what progress is, and they don't have to write journals about it! Both subjects at the beginning of the book have a section on why is this subject important. So if you must tell me why is this subject important for me to learn then it must not be so important after all! In parts to me, it is a common sence, but I'm sure by the end of the semester I'll be able to tell you exact definition of enterprenuership. Ok, this is topic for whole another post! I will report if I learn something!

Did I mention I have whole another potty troubled child? I'll tell you... later!
