Have you ever wondered...

Have you every wondered if ...
1) you sound like the grown-ups on the peanuts cartoons that say blah, blah, blah... (or that is what the kids hear anyways) to your kids and that is why they don't understand what you are saying unless you have them look you in the eye. There is that connection once you do that and a spark of understanding. I always wondered why that was.
2) why you never get a telephone call from anyone, just to say hi and wonder how you are doing. Well I know the answer to this (for me anyway) is because I never call anyone either, or I am never home, or I just get too caught up in everything else that I am suppose to do that time just goes by too quickly.
3) why we don't have magical powers. I so want a magic wand or to be able to wiggle my nose and have everything be clean, or have my kids behave, etc. I know that doesn't happen because then I would never learn anything and become very lazy.
4) why the State of California expects our kids to be geniuses by the time they are in 3rd grade. I don't understand why they have the math curriculum that they do. Algebra in 3rd grade, you have got to be kidding me. It sometimes takes me an hour to do my sons homework just to explain it to him. He then has that deer in the headlights look and says he understands it, but I know he has no clue. Curses to the State of California Educational Program.
5) why people aren't happy all of the time. I, for the most part, am a pretty happy person, but I would like to be happy all of the time. I want my family to be happy, my friends to be happy, and everyone to be happy. Can you imagine how the world would be if everyone was happy. No wars, no crime, etc... In this case I know the answer too. If we didn't have opposition in all things we wouldn't learn, eh!
Well there is my little thought for the week. Completely random, but that is generally how my thought process is.
Any way to all I wish you a happy and stress free week!
