Frustration

Frustration.  Just a rant... I'm tired.  I get very frustrated aroudn this house sometimes.  I do the food shopping, the cleaning, the food prep, and watch the baby all day.  Is it too much to ask for someone to empty the dishwasher from time to time??  Or to not give me attitude when I ask for someone to watch the baby for me so I can have a few minutes of peace?  It makes me want to cry when the baby is screaming and no one makes a move to go get her.  So I go... because I'm the mom.  And I keep going... because I'm the mom.  I realize that Aubrey is just a teenager, but I'm just a woman.  A very tired and frustrated womah.  And I don't want to go to church today because if I don't go then it means I could have some few precious minutes to myself.  But I will go because I haven't gone in weeks.  And if I don't go they will ask Carl why.  And if anyone asks me today how I am... God have mercy on me that I don't tell the truth.

Tis a gift to be gifted

I get a kick out of hearing mothers say their children are little geniuses or little Einsteins, meaning smarter than any other kid in their class.  They expect their child to be treated differently, be chosen to talk to more, allowed special considerations.  Do I think my kids are smart?  Yes, but I would never call them genius or super intelligent.  I would never claim my kids are smarter than other kids, because what the hell do I really know anyway?  The fact is that there are tests and thing in place in schools to help advanced kids to get placed in advanced classes if they are so intelligent.  Uhhh one thing... they typically do not have advanced classes for first graders soooooo ya might want to lay off the pressure on the teacher for a bit until your kid can actually communicate a little better.  And just because a kid gets a grade of "average" or "satisfactory" do not assume that the teacher thinks your kid is anything but special.  Satisfactory is a good thing.  It means that your kid's performance is on target. 

My mother-in-law is constantly saying "Ohhhh Juuuulia is such an intelligent baby!"  I laugh and tell her that yes she is very alert and bright, but remind her that there have been a few things she's been behind on, and I'm sure there will be other things that don't come quickly.  I've never been one of those moms who sit and worry about their kids meeting developmental goals or anything.  She'll get there when she gets there.  And if she's not the smartest kid in the class, so what.  She's my beautiful girl.
