sister_luck:
1. How are you spending/celebrating Christmas?
Christmas isn't such a big celebration over here. There is no Father Christmas or Santa Claus for the children, and on my side of the family there are no presents whatsoever. When we were younger we'd go to mass and have a little lunch on Christmas day and that was that, with the big celebrations reserved for New Year's day. Nowadays we celebrate Christmas day with P.'s family. One year they'll visit us, and the next year we'll go over to their place. This year it'll be our turn to do the cooking. There will be presents, because they've got another tradition than my family has.
2. How is LB?
Little Bit will turn one next week. How the time flies! She's 74cm long and weighs a bit less than 10kg, I believe. She's a happy little kid, eats everything (literally, she eats newspapers, my hair... everything that fits into her mouth) and loves playing. I'm touching wood, but so far she's never been more seriously ill than a common cold. She crawls, stands up when holding on to something, and can walk around the house with her walker thingy. She laughs her ass off when she's tickled and with her Papa she form the cutest duo you've ever seen.
3. Who did you look up to when you were growing up?
Jan Decleir
4. What did you think about Dollhouse?
Fun entertainment. We still have some episodes to go before we've seen the first season. So far I'm intrigued. (And I will make a longer post about it!)
5. If you had the power, what would you change about school?
Small groups, new desks, computers that work in every classroom, and most of all I would wipe out the negative spiral a lot of my colleagues have stumbled into (which also deserves it's own entry).

So, have you decided on the menu for Christmas?
About school: While money would do much to help, it can only go so far..

Date: 2009-12-06 09:23 pm (UTC)I know money can only take one so far, but sometimes I wish my class rooms wouldn't fall apart, and I wouldn't feel like Cinderella: make the best of a pumpkin and some mice.
I don't think it would stop the negativism either. It would only make it more poignant.
