ahka | Weekend

Weekend went by so fast, I didn’t even have time to get much rest. On Saturday we went to our friend’s birthday party, while in-laws came to our house to watch after the kids. Boris turned some Russian Sniper movie, 4 series. They spoke highly of the movie. I just don't have time to seat and watch 4 series.

The party was fun as usually. We laughed so hard my face was hurting. The talks were so silly and intimate for our group of friends. The outsiders observed our discussions and sociological questionnaires with questionable and surprised looks.

On Sunday, I woke up with kids and was contemplating if I should go to the conference at JCC that I signed up long time ago. I called mom and she suggested that we come over for breakfast. I told her that I actually had to go to the conference. Well, I ended up dropping kids at my parents and going to JCC.

I met a lot of counselors from JFCS that I was interning with. It was great to see them and catch up. I stay in touch with some on the FB. The sessions were interesting, the keynote speaker was Arthur Rolnick from MN Federal Reserve. He was talking about our economy and made a good point that to improve our economy, government must invest in education instead of bailing out companies that employ uneducated people, that cause not very good quality of products, etc… He was referring to GM in Detroit.

He also pointed out that USA is the only country where standard of living is getting higher and higher throughout the years. There were some people in audience who pointed out that in 50^th were golden years. Mr. Rolnik indicated that it is not true! Golden years are right now! He compared middle class in 50 and today. He pointed out that medical technology, house sizes, cars, services, etc. are on the higher level today in the USA then it was in 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, and 90s.

The one will be successful, who is willing to learn and get used to constant change. Change is good for economy & ppl!

The day was beautiful in F60^th! I picked up kids from parents, went home, we ate dinner together and I ran on to my next project(will talk about the project later) while Boris took kids outside for a walk.

I got back home, bathed Michael, read him a book, we talked a little, then I took care of Michelle and put her in bed too. Then I had to scan a lot of pics while Boris kept rushing me out of his office in the basement where I usually don’t even go.

Tomorrow (actually today) is going to be an interesting day! I will be helping my mom at the daycare whole week. I need the patience and all the energy to deal with a lot of little people! I need to go to bed! Good night!
