Maria's school is doing this Leader in Me thing, where each class is studying The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey, which is a book I studied in a management class years ago, which is funny, right? Anyway, we went to the gym yesterday after Mass to have coffee and donuts, and Mike pointed out this award that Maria got, which was on the wall with eight others, which makes me think maybe there was one from each grade?
She gives 100% to everything, that's true, for good or bad, ha! Lately we are having such a rough time with her wanting to BE somewhere else all the time. It makes the weekends very unpleasant, because she starts so early with her demands that you feel like all you've done all day is talk about where she can go and who wants to play with her and who I should be texting, ugh, it is exhausting.
She is always very good in church, though, in fact she is getting to be a real help with Felicity. We saw several of her friends yesterday in church AND her teacher, which is always a thrill to her. She has game club after school today, which is a relief because it's one less day I have to pick her up at 3:15 and be badgered until she is provided with a) a treat or b) someone to play with.
