My mom and I had lunch this afternoon...Cotton Patch provided the food...I provided the entertainment. We laughed a lot at the drama of raising a very bright daughter. It's funny how much she related the stories of our hectic, dramatic week to my glory days in Jr. High. What's funny is that I don't remember being a drama child at all. I was certainly not near as social or as outgoing as Maresa is. I was a fairly shy kid and she is so not shy! And, I'm certain that I was a very even-keeled, rational child...she's rational, but even-keeled she is not.
It has been one DRAMATIC week around here! Drama Drama Drama at every turn! Which, in case you didn't already know, I don't deal well with at all! I like order, not chaos! We've had tears regularly about too much homework, homework forgotten at school, homework brought home but book forgotten at school, not enough time to do a project, not getting recess, and to top it all off...an 89 on her report card! That last one just completely ruined her day. Yeah, she's a little bit of a perfectionist, but I don't know where she got that gene.
Oh yeah, we do have that one tiny little thing in common!
After this week...we need a re-do!
