Not about cleaning :)

So my first born is growing up so fast, It seems like only yesterday she was running by me in a different dress up outfit every five minutes... oh yeah, that was yesterday...

anyway tonight is her graduation from Kindergarten. i am so proud of her. I have not been as attentive to her reading and homework as I should have been, due to my own school work and being incredibly tired but somehow she has become not only a reader, but an accelerated reader. I am not very surprised because our family is full of good readers, but I am just so proud of what she can do. Her artwork has improved greatly and each of her little math worksheets are like a little badge of courage to me (I am an English person- can't stand math... at all). I am at least a good mom in that I made sure she got to school each day... her attendance this year was perfect. I got out a pretty dress for her to wear and plan on curling her hair and really making a huge deal of her accomplishments tonight.

Faith's last day of school was last Wednesday and I have experienced full force the pain of dealing with a spoiled rotten child. No I did not spoil her, but because of my schedule she has spent a lot of time with mamaw. Mamaw= spoiled. We (my husband and I) tried to explain to mamaw that she was ruining our sweet little girl but Mamaw would just smile and say "I can't imagine how she got to be so spoiled" haha mamaw...haha... anyway you know I don't really mind too much because hey, she's a kid, she deserves to be spoiled a little bit. Sure it turned her into a mini debutante for a short while but we taught her that she cannot act that way at home... mostly by ignoring her rude requests...

Well She has been my little shadow for several doctor appointments and while she's in public she is absolutely awesome and sweet. I think she knows that people think she's adorable because-- she told me so... i can't remember what she was doing exactly but when i asked her why? she informed me that it was making everyone smile at her.

When we are at home on the other hand- she is demanding...and wasteful... mostly she needs food. By needs i mean I have breakfast ready when she is done getting dressed in th emorning... she refuses to eat breakfast... then she is hungry about an hour later...and she hounds and hounds... so I say "no you wasted breakfast I am not feeding you again until lunch" then of course I hadn't eaten breakfast yet- so I get her some cereal when I get my own... she eats this and then.... one hour later "momma I'm hungry" I say no lunch is in half an hour you can wait.... so I feed her lunch and she wastes it only to bug me for the rest of the afternoon for more food... I feed her... but she is sooo wasteful... I even ask her what she wants so it's not like I expect her to eat a plate full of broccoli when she hates broccoli.

sigh. On my own personal news, because I love to brag and since only my mom reads this anyway- I recieved my praxis scores and got an excellence rating, this means that I scored in with the top 15% of people who have taken the test in previous years. I got the excellence rating in both tests, on the English content a perfect scored would have been 200, I got a 193 (wow!) and on the PLT- which is the test on teaching ability and knowledge of methods, student psychology, and theorists ect.- the high score was also 200. I only got a 184 on that one but it was still in the top 15%. I got two gorgeous little certificates in the mail showing how awesome I am. I will be applying for my teachers license very soon.

That is all I have for now, til next time
