before I got my account here I used to write journals in my tagged and hi5 accounts, for very personal reasons I canceled those accounts and was smart enough to copy some of those journals in a USB memory, unfortunately, the USB died before I was able to transfer them to a more safe location.
after coming back from work, I was browsing nonsense as usual, when just to try, I tried opening both accounts, just hi5 gave me the option to get the account back, to my surprise...all the journals were still there! been reading all of them, had posted so many song lyrics that by now I have no idea what was the point of them, but I can tell you it was for a very good reason.
so couldnt take it, and had to post it here,., I got some of my journals back! hell yeah! :D

talks with the kid
[while watching TV with the kid a shooting star showed up in the screen.]
kid: mom, you know...that is called a shooting star
me: ouh really?
kid: yes, and when you see them you are supposed to make a wish
me: for real? nice! what would you wish for?
kid: well, I would ask for a mom who would never punish me even when Im behaving bad
me: hhmmm, good luck with that...you know what Id wish for?
kid: no, what?
me: I would ask for a kid, who I would have to give instructions only once and would not forget them
kid: hhhmmm.... but, you know...that would not be a kid...THAT would be a ROBOT...
kid: mom, you know...that is called a shooting star
me: ouh really?
kid: yes, and when you see them you are supposed to make a wish
me: for real? nice! what would you wish for?
kid: well, I would ask for a mom who would never punish me even when Im behaving bad
me: hhmmm, good luck with that...you know what Id wish for?
kid: no, what?
me: I would ask for a kid, who I would have to give instructions only once and would not forget them
kid: hhhmmm.... but, you know...that would not be a kid...THAT would be a ROBOT...
ADD..and counting...
my kid is now 5 years old, he started going to school at age 3, currently he is in his 3rd school...since the beginning I was told he used to get distracted pretty easily, but, as a new mom, I thought it was just the fact of him being so young. last year at school was a real hassle, having his teacher complaining about him all the time, saying he doesnt care and gets distracted and bugs the other kids, the only thing I could think about was that his teacher was a bitch and I didnt see the time to have him out of that school.
from some time now, my mom has been telling me my kid has ADD, so I started searching on internet some of the symptoms of that disorder, kids get distracted, they would talk all the time, they would interrupt people when talking, they cant remain sitting when eating, etc, etc..
now, it was hard for me to determine if it was ADD or not, as I dont know any other kids to have as reference, so I couldnt tell up to which point it was normal behavior for a toddler or when it had turned to ADD.
the time he is not at school or at his karate classes he is alone at the house, and the TV is on all the time, even if he is not watching it he needs to have that background noise. so besides all those issues at school , doing homework was a huge fight every day, have to repeat instructions more than 3 times cause he would always forget what he was supposed to do, and he keeps doing things he has been told not to,, Ive got to the point to physical punishment ( Im ashamed I have to say more than once I lost it); we have just two days in the new school and already got a note from school, on monday he used a marker and draw lines all over his uniform tshirt and the couch...I couldnt take it anymore, and as off all the punishments I could think off have been used unsuccessfully, I thought on the only thing I have never touched for him...the TV, he has been without TV all week, needless to say he cried a lot.. A.LOT.
so this week it has been a tv-less week for both of us, but I must say, that thing was taking a lot of valuable time from us; Im ashamed I didnt want to acknowledge that, it was easier to just lay there watching cartoons than looking for something to try to get him distracted and entertained. overall I can tell it has been a good week, it even helped him with maths, he is well aware on how many days are left to be able to watch tv again. (so do I, miss to watch movies :$)
so, after witnessing how much TV was affecting my relationship with the kid and also his own development, I need to find a way to keep it away, cant make the restriction last forever. one option we have found is to let him watch tv just an hour a day and until I have come back from work so I can deal with the fight that we forecast will come when the hour is done.
but still looking for ways to help him out dealing with the ADD and reducing the TV time as much as possible, definitely, trying to deal with all these has been a lot easier now, and keeping myself in more control knowing what Im dealing with has helped a lot, also having someone to talk about this and telling me what I could be doing better takes a huge weight out of my shoulders(thanks honey!). now we read stories every night, and we are trying to follow a schedule as much as possible. gotta say, its taking a lot of work, Im so lazy and my kid has energy to illuminate a complete city for at least 2 days...but still, this week has been one of the best weeks Ive had in a long time, ( following my vacation week which was made memorable :$)
so at least for now, Im taking away the idea on having the kid on the corner outside with a sign "free or better offer"... I might even keep him ;)

Haiti 2010
Terremoto 1986
magnitud VIII- IX en SS
terremoto 2001
magnitud VII en SS
Del primero no me acuerdo, dicen que venia en el microbus del colegio cuando paso; del segundo si me acuerdo, estaba peinandome y cuando note que el temblor no paraba y al contrario aumentaba la fuerza, corri a sacar a mi hermana de su cuna, ella tenia 2 años entonces, me cai, no se si por el moviento de temblor o el peso de mi hermana o por lo rapido que la quize sacar o si fueron todos esos aspector juntos, nos quedamos en la puerta de mi casa esperando a que llegaran mis papas. Ese año murio mucha gente , alreadedor de 900 personas, siendo la mayoria en la colonia Las Colinas.
Haiti 2010
magnitud VII
100000 muertos...and counting...
todas las tragedias humanas me impactan, como a toda la gente supongo, pensar en que puede suceder aca, pensar en que muy probablemente yo no podria estar cerca de mi hijo, me duele, me conmueve pensar en toda esa cantidad de mamas que perdieron a sus hijos, a todos esos hijos que perdieron a sus mamas...
desastres naturales como el que ha azotado a Haiti, ver tanta necesidad, tanta destruccion, tanto dolor, me hace desear poder estar alli, ayudar con lo unico que tengo.. mis dos manos...definitivamente me equivoque, deberia de estar como voluntaria en la cruz roja..no aqui...ayudando gente que no sabe agradecer nada, no aqui, donde lo ultimo que interesa es ayudar en lo que realmente se necesita. estoy segura que debe ser una satisfaccion muy grande el poder ayudar a alguien a salvarles la vida, no tengo manera de imaginarme como debe ser esa expresion en los ojos de esos ninos rescatados, o de esas personas liberadas de los escombros, pero estoy segura que te han de llegar hasta lo mas profundo del alma.
CNN tiene un video del momento del temblor, es impactante como tomo alrededor de 10 segundos que los edificios comenzaran a colapsar, no tuvieron tiempo de correr, no hubo tiempo de nada.
no tengo como prestar mis manos para ayudar, pero si tengo mis oraciones para todos ellos, para los que aun estan atrapados, que su Fe los mantenga con fuerza, a los voluntarios y todas las personas luchando por rescatarlos, que tengan fuerza suficiente y que nunca dejen de buscar...
....la hora mas oscura es antes del amanecer...this too shall pass...

♪♪ el pollo..el pollo con una pata... ♪♪
ayer tuve la primera reunion en el colegio de mi hijo, nos explicaron la metodologia que utilizan, los temas que se veran durante el año, los horarios..y nos pusieron a cantar y a bailar... :s
el año pasado no nos fue muy bien, definitivamente yo no fui de gran ayuda, asi que este nuevo año tengo todas las buenas intenciones de trabajar lo que sea necesario para poderle ayudar. El metodo que usan se oye interesante, no deja de asustarme la verdad. Le llaman "educacion personalizada". Lo primero que se me viene a la mente cuando dicen "educacion personalizada" es, una maestra para un grupo pequeno de ninos (10 ninos). Ellos explican la educacion personalizada, como un metodo en el que cada nino hace su propio horario, deciden en que trabajaran y se hacen responsables por cumplir las metas que se han establecido, con la libertad de hacerlo en el orden en el que ellos se sientan mas comodos. Dan mucha importancia al hecho de que no todos los ninos tienen las mismas habilidades, algunos seran mas habiles para matematicas, otros para colorear, asi que les dan esa libertad y de esa manera identifican las areas en las que los ninos necesitan mas ayuda. me gusto eso, me da la impresion que van a comprender muy bien a mi pequeno retono.
