Tuesday, September 30, 2008 - Learning Center Day
Tuesdays this semester are spent at the Skagit Family Learning Center. ALL DAY. I get here before 9am, and leave just before 4pm. I am SO not used to being cooped up away from home this long! Heck, how long has it been since I worked full time? 11 years????
I'm using one of the computers they have here at school to type this. At least I can get online, but for the most part it is kind of a wasted day. If I could use MY computer to get online here, I could at least do the household books and pay bills.
Violet has a class on being a LADY, a scrapbooking class, a critical thinking class, a backpacking and outdoors class and a 2-hour sewing class. She is sewing a dress that is looking almost like a formal! She is growing up. I'll post a pic somewhere of the dress when she is done. It has been nice to spend that time with her.
I love to read. I just picked up a "Christian" book to read about the gold rush. It looked interesting. UNTIL in the first 5 chapters they introduced 40 people by first and last name! Who cares what the name of the cabby or cook is?? I mean, yes, they are people (fictional), but my little pea brain cannot keep track of who is important and who is not, and who the heck THIS person is, anyway. I was rather frustrated, thus the rant. The thing is, I think I have run into this problem before with another "Christian" book! I wonder if it was by the same people.
Well, 9:30. Only 6 hours left to kill.....
