Long weekend boredom.
The teens went and spent last night and most of today at my sisters house, helped her hide eggs for the nieces, play with them etc.
They had fun, got to play WoW, and had McDonald's.
On Friday though, we watched Beowulf
It was really good, at times, you forget it's a cartoon.
I watched it again last night during one of my couldn't sleep periods.
I slept off and on last night, and today, and now I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.
I found it interesting that neither son had even heard of the story before.
Back in 8th grade, we covered all of the classic stories like this one, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, and Hamlet.
Here's my kids, a freshman and a junior in high school, and they haven't read any of these stories yet.
They don't even know if they will be covering these.
At some point, I'll blog about the latest school budget cuts.
It's a lot to take in, but I do know they are planning on cutting out coaches, some of the arts programs, and other stuff.
The county is having major budget issues, and they are taking the money from the schools again.
Sebastian just came home from being out with a friend and his friend's mom, and he brought me McDonald's.
A cheeseburger and a chocolate shake.
Yum.
Off to eat and see what's on tv.
Later days.

They are doing more tax cuts? I bet the city got their new parking lot, though, didn't they?
I liked Beowulf okay, but my kids weren't really into it at all. I was disappointed.

What a shame!
Every time I hear cuts in schools it makes me SO upset. It really threw me when you said they hadn't heard of these...I was reading some of that in Junior High...but yes,most in High School...such a shame!
