Are we teaching our kids to “care”? Last night it was open house night at my daughter’s Elementary school. You could go anywhere between 6pm till 7:30pm. We arrived to the parking lot at 6:03pm and there is a Mercedes Benz SUV in front of us. I tell my husband, “is she really parking there?”. Yes, she was. This lady literally parked in the middle of the parking lot blocking all of us that were behind her. She looked the mess she made and kept walking. Again… if she “cared” about what she was teaching her kid at that moment it truly didn’t showed. So we had to part across the street at the middle school parking lot. In our way “in” to the Open House we were almost ran over by PARENTS coming in and out of the school THREE TIMES! Yes, peeps THREE FREAKING TIMES, were we using the CLEARLY labeled cross walks, YES, WE WERE. (Because I am trying to teach my kid to CARE, about being visible so can drivers can spot her faster and everyone be SAFE). Before we got into the school my daughter tripped and fell down about 20 feet from the door. She was carrying some puppets she made for her daughter. She was crying inconsolably on the ground and trying to pick up her puppets. While my husband and I tried helping her and consoling her ONLY ONE PERSON stopped to help her. EVERYONE ELSE WALKED AROUND US… LOOKED AND KEPT GOING! We finished the open house at 7pm, there were still 30 mins to go, but we were tired and we saw the entire area where my daughter takes classes. We are waiting at the CLEARLY LABELED crosswalk at 7pm in the 20s and we are not given the right to walk, we had to wait until ALL THE PARENTS have gone by to cross. When we start crossing we had to back away again because this FAMILY GUY is coming out of the parking lot and does NOT allows us to keep crossing the street. Inside the car a woman that looks like a mom and two kids in the back. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?
Now I asked you again? Are we teaching our kids to “care”? … to “care” about the people walking in the street that are freezing to the core trying to get to their car or house… to “care” for the person who dropped something even if it is an “un-important” item for us?… or simply to “care”.
Sorry for the big post… gosh but I am just sad that we are heading where we are heading for a simple thing as “not caring”.
When Cynthia posted this in our private darer section I loved the idea, but then started thinking… wow, I don’t want to give this person any hold over me. He is gone and I am happy… so of course I remembered of the song that makes me know I am free of those bad habits and people… Gives Hell by American Rejects. So here is my take on Digi Dare #309.

Do you get inspired by kits or by products? For me it depends, a bit of both I guess. This time I have no clue what pictures I am going to be using but I know I want to incorporate all of these 4 products. I dare you to pick 4 products and scrap this final day of the weekend. What super bowl? Accept it you are there for the commercials and the chips… grab the chips and follow me to scrappin’ heaven!
Bianca: Mommy are there princesses in real life?
Daddy: Yes, they are all around the world.
Mommy: Not too long ago a prince got married, they had a royal wedding.
Bianca: He married a princess?
Mommy: No, he married a normal girl… and now she is a princess.
Bianca: But are there really princesses and kings and queens.
Mommy: Yes, remember that prince we were talking about? His grandmother is the queen of England.
Bianca: Ewwww, he married his grandmother??!?!?!?!
Daddy and Mommy: NO!!!!! (laughing uncontrollably)
I did 40 pages for the LilyPad alone last month. Those challenges really got me busy! Wanna see them? There are more than 40, I apparently did almost 50 pages. I can’t keep track it was a busy busy month.
It seems like the smell didn’t last the entire month and it’s a shame. It goes from too strong (to my taste) when open to almost no smell way too fast. I hope they can fix this so I can get my hands in more of them.
I tried the one showed in the picture. I hope they come with more non-food related smells like the amazing cotton smell they had for other Glade products.
This week at the Digi Dares it’s all about silhouettes. The Digi Dares #295 is up in the blog! [ link ]
