I'm writing this from my sister's kitchen table, where I'm simultaneously watching my niece agonize over some school work. She's 8, and reading a mere 2 paragraphs, 127 words... was pure torture! Or so it would seem. I think that simple assignment... read 2 paragraphs and answer a few simple questions... took 2 hours and you'd have thought I asked her to read a thousand page book in Old English. Ugh!
Got me thinking though about how often we make things harder than they really are. How many times have I procrastinated and complained and whined for far longer than it would have take to just do whatever I was whining about.
So I'm sitting here writing this as I watch this little "mirror of Maria" show me that I need to
just do it!
And she's done.... now we can go out and play :)
Good Lord! Try to have some fun with the child!lolololololol...Chele
ReplyDeleteShe's a great kid... very smart and creative. Donna was the same way at that age and so was I about certain things.
ReplyDeleteWas a great reminder to me how I still do this stuff when it comes to certain "subjects."
