\nThe more that I get done on Gigi, the more I want to do, and the less time I spend on housework and other so-called necessities \ud83d\ude09
\nI’m so close to getting her done. I decided to try her on today, while she was still on the needle, and I got laughed at by my DH, who happens to be taking a holiday from work this week. Admittedly, I got stuck and he needed to rescue me. Lucky he was home, I guess \ud83d\ude42 By the way, he parses DH as d***head.
\nAnyway, I have 9 more rounds before I start the ribbing and finish her off! I may even be wearing her by the weekend.
\nLets just hope now that she fits.
\nI went over to Threadbear<\/a> to peek at the Charlotte colourways. I luurrrrvve “Sky Blue Pink” and “Crown Jewels”. They’re wearing me down!! must resist. m-u-s-t.<\/b>
\nA mailing list that I read has been having a discussion about children doing their own homework. I feel pretty strongly about this – it’s her homework, she has to learn this stuff. I don’t mind helping<\/b> if she has a question or doesn’t understand something, but I won’t do her homework for her.
\nEm’s teacher this year has decided that to boost all of the children’s self esteem, in addition to regular homework they will also give a speech each week. These speeches will land our family in counselling.
\nTonight we had to listen to the hormonally challenged Emily cry for half an hour because she wanted to go on the internet instead of writing this stupid speech. Now, I’m sure that my child is not the only one who detests this assignment – I know that I hated speeches when I was in school, which is the only thing that held me back from applying for the Australian Prime Ministership. \ud83d\ude09
\nI can see how this is building the self esteem of these sixth graders.
\nMaybe it’s really<\/b> a task to build the patience of their parents. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
