Mother's Reprimand

Why is it that after a bad morning that ends with arguing with my daughter that I just have to come across this quote online:

Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you. ~Robert Fulghum

Do I really need that rubbed in, especially after she stops off saying, "Don't ever talk to me like that again or I'll put you in your room!!"

Sigh....

She then stomped to the table and told Sam, "You have a bad mommy!"

Yes, this morning, she certainly does! If only I knew my moodiness was going to end earlier than nine months from now. . . .

Friend's Etsy

A girlfriend of mine from Idaho (now in Denver) just opened up a store on Etsy with some cute stuff. This is a picture of her daughter that I stole from her site. Darling, huh!! (Oh, yeah, and the skirt is pretty darn cute, too, isn't it?!)

Great Expectations

Just read an article about Project Bright Idea, which seeks to teach teachers to expect all their students to be gifted. When teachers do so, more students respond and perform better. Huh.....what a concept.....(DUH.) :) Glad they're spreading the news, though!
