How is it possible that there is not one real Italian bakery in such a good size city. I mean I know there are few of kinda here but the rest are back in Jersey & NY it seems. I would bet someone could make a killing opening one. No cannoli, no sfogliatelle, no cookies, no nothing.  There's gotta be an Italian baker around here who wants to do a public service to the greater Seattle area and bring back dessert!

The only one we have really is Borraccini's just south of downtown.  Of course there are other bakery's and they might make things but well there isn't an italian bakery like you find in NY in Little Italy or in Jersey.  It is sad that such a big city with such a melting pot of people has such a huge gap like this.

So my son is in the 3rd grade. And I know that the education system is hurting and that kids need to grow in education.  But I am just wondering how fast and who decides?  My son has been given a report for the past few weeks to work on for Social Studies on the state that they choose.  They have to basically build a travel brochure with the information they find. 

Well all the research you need to do, the pictures you have to find, and the preparing of this project this isn't a 3rd grade report I was saying.  Well it comes to find out by another parent that this use to be a 5th or 6th grade project just a year or 2 ago.  So why did they decide that younger kids could do something like this?   I don't know.  I know my son has a hard time picking out his clothing and finding his shoes so to do all the research was like doing a root canal.  It was amazing. 

Now as a parent I am behind helping him and things but come on this was out of control.  There is no way that I want to spend this much time on a project and need that much Advil, glasses of wine, or shots of vodka to get through something like this.  This is the third grade for crying out loud.  If you want them to do stuff like this well don't you think you should teach them.

They are starting to use a thesaurus in class and well my son thinks he can change all words.  But trying to explain to him that you can't change the name of a mountain range in a state for his report just because he doesn't know the word or can't say it doesn't mean you just go look up a new word and make one up.  I was not about to create another launguage just so he could be happy with the words.  And I can't count the number of times my eyes also rolled into the back of my head either.

So I am at this point glad that this report is done finally and out of my house.  I don't want to see another one for a while.  Because who knows what fun will happen next.
