Why do I think about school so often when I'm on vacation?
Why haven't I received my diploma yet? (Why does it take 3 months to process it??)
Why exactly did Pete's brother build a giant womb for a recent art show in NYC? (I guess people could go in it, hear "womb-like" sounds, and attach posters of their experiences to the inside walls. Very weird if you ask me.)
Why don't more people recycle?
Why do people fail to obey general traffic rules (i.e. speed limits, right turn on red after STOP, etc.)?

About Me
- Seradee
- I've been married to Pete for 5 fabulous years! I also have a great brother and two wonderful parents. I'm currently teaching 3rd grade. I can't believe that this is going to be my 10th year of teaching! I received both my B. A. in Child Study (1999) and my M. A. in Elementary Reading & Language Arts (2007) from Saint Joseph College. I'm just an average, every day person who is really, REALLY bad at keeping a blog!

Wow. You certainly had a lot on your mind. I get that way, too. I totally understand. Questions like that have led me to the conclusion that today's society is really screwed up. Why does it seem like the negative things are so impossible to change?
It bothers me just how screwed up our society can be. Every day I read things and hear/see things on TV that really depress me. There are a lot of people out there for their own gains and needs and don't care about anyone/thing else. I have to keep in mind that I can only do my best, be my best, and do what I know is right for the good of myself, the people that I love as well as those I don't even know, and for our earth and all that inhabits it.
On a much lighter note, I received your invitation -- thank you!! Pete and I will both be there. I'm excited to see you again! :)
I'm glad you'll be there. I can't wait to see you!!!!
Being in the news business makes it impossible for me to shut off that stuff. I wish I could. Could you imagine how much things would change if people just stopped to think about something they've done for someone else today? It doesn't have to be anything huge, even just giving someone a compliment is a help.
What a glum post?! I can see your point and often think about it daily. As Karl Marx stated long ago...its the way of capitalism...to get ahead you have to step on everything else...including the Earth I'm afraid.
There would have to be a giant paradigm shift in order to change things. Moreover, my dad would say it's because the human race is the largest most pervasive virus on the planet.
