It is very hard to handle when your child is faced with disappoinment and hurt and there is nothing you can do to change it. It is a lesson they need to learn as we all have.
My daughter signed up to perform with a friend at the school talent show. This is something I never would have done, myself. I could be part of a cast in a play but standing up there alone or with a partner for all too see (or boo as they see fit,) I just couldn’t do it.
The girls were going to perform a dance number. I, honestly, thought that the girls would grow bored of it and not follow through, but they actually practiced together and were quite excited about the end result.
A dress rehearsal was required the day before the show and my daughter’s partner did not show. Since my daughter had signed up to be with a partner, and her partner didnt show for practice, they were not allowed to perform in the show. I think this is pretty harsh for the 4th grade, but I do not make the rules. I just have to handle the repercussions. She was quite angry and hurt, but I used my motherly skills and distracted her with a shopping trip for summer clothes. But let me tell you, I would love to go bop that kid in the head!!
So anyway, my daughter was quite disappointed when her friend “bailed” on her.
I feel so bad. I have not posted here since February?! Wow. Thats a long time.
As you can tell from my title, I have discovered Facebook. It is extremely addicting and very fun. I have reconnected with relatives I have not seen in 30+ years and people I went to grade school with! That is a lot of people!! Parts of my family that I thought were lost forever have been happily found and we now keep up a regular dialogue. Family histories that have been missed can be seen through pictures that have been uploaded.
Some find it quite dangerous to use given the state of computer crime these days, but I believe that if you take the proper steps you can remain safe while FB’ing. I recommend it to everyone looking to find lost friends and families or just to refresh connections you already have!
I want to thank my crew for the great birthday party they threw me. I celebrated my 40th with relaxation and friends…who could ask for anything more?
Oh and thanks to Britt-ish Designs @ scrapmatters.com for the free quickpage template.
