Just wanted to say thank you to those folks that replied to my last post and e-mailed me. It is re-assuring to hear that I'm not going insane and that its human to react and sometimes over react. I considered taking that post down because I feel a little 'exposed' and don't really like putting myself out there for possible judgement or mis interpertation. In the end I will just have to pull myself up by my bootstraps and give it another go. When I ask myself the guestion- when do I call it quits the answer still comes back 'You don't. You don't quit on a kid.' So until that answer comes back differently I'm still in. As far as Brooke- well, if she didn't have Kayla around she'd be an only child. Coping skills, right? She'll eventually learn how to assert herself, maintain her own identity and deal with annoying personality types, err, I mean find the best in people even if she has to dig for it. So... hang in there with me, I'll be fun again soon, I promise.
Well, its the end of the school year. Time to thank the two ladies that influenced my children in a great direction! I didn't want to donate to the gift card. Why? Because I'm not a joiner? Because I want to stand out rather than share the spotlight? Because I want a personalized gift that they can keep and always remember? Because I want to impress upon them that I can't participate as a classroom volunteer because (loud children scare me) I've been so busy working and being creative? Because I want to do both gifts for very little money but not look cheap? Bingo. I saw an ornament made from a puzzle piece in a magazine and it stuck with me. 'I should do something like that' I always think. Then the idea came to me and unfortunately would not leave me- like ringworm. I would make a mobile. I found the very largest puzzle I could find at my local store. Turns out the fewer the pieces- the large...
Good for you! I'm still rooting for your team! No judgement here.
