Math Counts Competition

I would love to be more intentional about blogging, like I used to, but time has not been on my side.  The moment I do find time to sit and write I feel guilty because there's 100 other things I could be doing.  Also, with how I'm feeling lately my posts could end up being depressing and I don't want to be that way.  My misery does not like company and I would much rather lift others up than bring anyone down.  As hard as life is right now I need to continue doing what I try to do best and that's focusing on the positives in life.

Like today, my son along with the top 6 in his grade got to be part of a math competition that was held in Millersville University.   We only got to see the last part of the competition and award ceremony.   There were 29 schools and 199 competitors.  He didn't make the top 10 and his school didn't make the top 5 but I don't even care.  I'm beaming with pride over this kid.

He's always been academically smart and a fast learner.  That doesn't come from me, I can say that with all seriousness.   

It's been a long time since I had been on the Millersville University campus.   My high school was located next door and the photography teacher would walk us to the area with the pond so we could take pictures.  Our school shared their football stadium so I had spent every home game my sophomore and junior years dancing and twirling flags with the band on that field.  And I would also visit my friends who attended there.  It was a fun day with some nostalgia.   

Then we enjoyed the unseasonably warm day outside playing and being silly, and then spent some time in my parents house. 

My daughter had her moments of whining and crying, per usual, but it was a good day.  A really good day.
