Mother's Pride and Joy

Attended the Woodrose School PQF (Parent's Quarterly Forum) for my grade 2 daughter. Our class, 2-c, had the largest number of attendees. Interesting that we had to move to the function room and do our class profile briefing behind closed doors, while the two other sections conducted theirs in the auditorium. Just found out that our class was the most 'active'--can't seem to keep them seated or quiet. The other is that the teachers agreed among themselves that our class also was the most intelligent!

I could see the moms and dads puffing their chests with pride. Including me. Ms. F, our Grade 2-C homeroom teacher, said that the girls were quick to get the lessons. Of course, I'd like to use the tests and quizzes as the standard barometer, cause perception was arguable. Figures were more reliable.

At least, I can say that since my girl has been getting perfect scores in a number of her exams. And while doing so, she maintains a growing set of friends. I love the way she balances the life of the mind with the real world.

I think my daughter will definitely make it out there.

An Angel on my Palm

I'm a Catholic Mom. I remember keeping track of the daily Mass readings for my journal reflections by subscribing to Mobile Gabriel from AvantGo .

It's named after the Archangel Gabriel, who announced to Mary the birth of Christ, and is the Patron of Communications.

Mobile Gabriel works on both Pocket PC or Palm OS platforms. Great for those using the multimedia phones that are so handy nowadys. It's a convenient way for getting your daily dose of God's Word.

I realize we want to be always connected to our work and to other people, hence the advent of the multimedia phones. E-mail, spreadsheets, photos--they're all in one device. So thru this, why not allow Mobile Gabriel to remind us daily about the best source of Inspiration for our faith, family and work lives?

That's what guardian angels are for.
