Lockdown NZ - Day 17

Day 17 in lock-down and you're lying if you haven't wanted to murder your kid at least five times in the last 17 days. I thought it was pre-teen attitude, but the child is legit annoying.

I feel sorry for those who have 5.
You people are the ultimate who deserve medals.
Bronze, Silver and Gold.

I have a new appreciation for education and the opportunity a child has to attend a school, and this is coming from someone who absolutely believed that home school was the way to go.

I retract my undying love for home school.
Don't believe the hype.
Love dies.

Do you know how hard math is these days? 9-year-old grade math and even I don't get it. They don't use algorithm in math anymore. When I showed her the simpler way to add she thought I was brilliant. I asked her principal why they don't use it and she said they tend to throw a variety of approaches at the child then let the child find the one they understand. My child understands the algorithm.

If Larry was alive, she'd be a genius.
Alas, she's got a Mum who thinks a calculator is enough.

Don't be ashamed, but this is us all right now.

Happy Easter Internets.

Super Moon, Te Mata and Ariel.

Last nights Super Moon. Te Mata Peak. Safe to say, Hubbalush loves her Ariel. She's my favorite big sister Mum. (Shame Tyler, Shai, Nessa and Rome) Goodnight Hawkes Bay. Earthquake: I felt it. I got my child up and ran outside onto my concrete porch where I thought it would be safest. The Seismologist on the news the next day said running outside is not a good idea in the event of an Earthquake. Now I know for next time. Hawkes Bay didn't feel the effects of it like Southland did .. and is continuing to do. Over 1000 aftershocks since it all began. Tyler is stuck on the South Island and finishing out their tour, much to my dismay. It's a disaster zone in parts down there and although she's on the skirts of the danger zones, you'd think it professional AND safe to cancel the tour and bring the troop home .. but no. Some stupid doesn't think so. Goodnight.

Kawe Mate.

Recently an Aunty of mine, who is staunch in her Maori culture, talked to me about the protocol of Kawe Mate. Kawe Mate is a custom during the maori process of death that involves taking the deceased memory back to where they were well known or considered home. It's a custom that is basically a gesture of love to family members who weren't able to attend the tangi. My family never practised it at all and I don't think it's necessary to start. I carry his memory in my heart, as does his Mom, that's all that matters. Happy Mothers Day!
