A Rant on a Monday . . .

I'm sitting quietly, sipping coffee. Son #1 is still asleep. He doesn't have to be to school until 10:30 since he loaded up on classes freshman, sophomore and junior years. Today I have to contact the financial aid office at Hofstra to see if we are eligible for any aid other then the scholarship he's been given if he decides to go there. The middle class gets screwed out of everything, don't we? It's really very sad to me. As of now, my generation will be leaving our children a mess that is beyond our comprehension. Promises are made and never kept and our children are the ones that are suffering for it. Our schools are bulging at the seams and more cuts are going to be made. Cuts to teachers, teacher's assistants, school activities, sports, special ed, and the list goes on. I follow several blogs where children are home schooled and I honestly used to frown upon that idea. Now it's looking pretty good to me. Unfortunately, I'm not a very structured personality and I don't think it would work for me. Truth be told, I like that they leave for part of the day. It makes me love and appreciate them all the more upon their return. : )

By the way, I'm having trouble adding pics to my blog. Is anybody else? Everything just freezes up when I try to add them.


Many blessings ~ Wendy
