TV shows

     I was watching the tv sitcom Mork and Mindy in honor of the death of Robin Williams when I had this occur to me.  Why don't we have anymore shows like this and for that matter cartoons like the cartoons I grew up watching.  I remember growing up and watching the Brady Bunch to 21 Jumpstreet because of the themes behind them.  I also remember getting up early for the Saturday morning cartoons.  I remember watching X-Men and wondering why people would treat other people differently because they weren't normal or watching the Flintstones or the Jetsons and laughing at the funny scenarios they got themselves into.
   I then look at the cartoons that are being made now and wonder where they get the ideas for these shows now.  Some of the cartoons just don't make any sense to me.  Maybe it's just because I'm not up with the times and that is what considered entertainment now.  I guess have cartoons that teach values and lessons are just really nonexistant anymore.  I guess what they say is true that violence sells.  I just feel that the generation now is missing out on some really good cartoons and tv shows that could teach them good morales and how to be a good person.
     I can just hope that this generation will hopefully at some point be able to find these gems that I grew up with enjoy them as much as I did.

Volunteered at Mom's school

   I went to my Mom's school today an volunteered a couple hours.  I did a lot of things for my Mom's class.  I first had to make some copies for her and then I leveled some books for her library.  They have this new leveling system that uses numbers and colors.  For example 3Y stands for 3 Yellow which is a lower level book.  I remember the leveling from the books was like a point system and when you read a book you went to a computer and typed in the book.  The computer looked in the system to see if there is a test for the book and if there is a test you took the test and if you passed the test you got the points for reading the book.
    After volunteering I went to Mom's house to use her washing machine because the one at the place I'm living at isn't working right now.  I enjoyed spending some time with my Mom.

First day of school

Today was the first day of school for not only my mother but also for my fiance too.  My mother is a first grade teacher and she had been busy pretty much all month trying to get her room together and ready for her students.  My mother enjoys being a teacher even though she has had some ups and downs the past couple of years with the new teaching curriculums  they have been implementing over the years.  My fiancee because he has decided to go back to school and pursue the career he has dreamed of doing.  I wish them all the luck I can give and hope they have a wonderful time teaching and learning as the year goes.

Tarpon Springs Aquarium

I had a great day today.  I  went to the Tarpon Springs Aquarium with my Mom's first grade class.  I have to say that it was a cute, small, and interesting aquarium, it didn't really have the space to handle 5 classes of 18 students there.  Granted they did have a lot of neat exhibits.  I got to pet a turtle, alligator, and an albino python.  I also got to feed a stingray.  I would love to go back to Tarpon Springs and just park for the day and walk around to all the little shops there.  I also got have some quality time with my mom.  We went to Dairy Queen and got some ice cream and just sat and chatted for a  while.  I enjoy having time like that with her.  I wish I could get more or I wish that she lived closer.

Had an awesome weekend

I had an awesome weekend.  I went with my fiance to Homassassa Springs Park and walked around for a while.  I took a took a ton of pictures of the animal exhibits.  I love doing stuff like that with him.  I'm glad that he and I have a lot in common. I never thought I would ever find anyone as amazing as him.

On Saturday I drove to my mom's place and got to hang out with her for a bit.  I miss having moments like that with her.  But I guess that comes with growing up and moving on with life.  You can't live with you mom forever.  But I enjoy spending time like that with her.

Today I did some much needed cleaning.  I am amazed at how productive I was this weekend but that I also had fun. 

Long road to a goal.

I just got word from a job I applied for with a Sheriff's office.  I got the job and I'm very excited.  I have a degree in Criminal Justice but haven't been able to use it because I couldn't find a job.  I graduated in 2007 and worked different jobs for a while.  When I graduated I became a substitute teacher and actually enjoyed being around kids and considered going and taking the IA test or going back to school and getting an Education degree.  Then I got a job working Loss Prevention is a retail store and that got me back on this type of job is what I wanted to do.  After doing this for 4 years I realized that I wanted to be able to grow and move up in a company.  It's hard now with so many companies down sizing jobs and taking away upper positions to save money.  So with the support of my family, fiance, and my fiances family I applied to the local sheriff's office for a dispatcher position.  After going through interviews, polygraph, fingerprinting, background check,  and observation.  I finally got word that I got the job and start training for it next month.  I just wanted to write this for anyone that feels that they will never get the job they want to not give up and to keep trying.  Yeah it might take a while but in the end you will find and get that job that you always wanted.
