For the past few weeks I have been living life "90 to Nothing!!" Our family has had some great days and some other not so great days. We have gone to an amusement park that is located nearby, we have gone to a family reunion - I have learned to shoot a .22 pistol and I have realized that I am still an insecure parent.
My middle child - Moo Moo - is in the gifted program, but struggling in every other area. I am at a loss. She has asked to be home schooled, but we can't do that ( I work full time and my husband works full time with overtime). I am not sure that is what she needs anyway. She is having trouble staying focused - on anything - she even has trouble doing things on a list. On the flip side she is extremely creative - loves to flip instead of walk - and loves those around her. Maybe I am focused on the wrong things. Maybe I should focus on her heart instead of the numbers - I just do not want her unable to function in high school and in life.
I wonder everyday if it is because I am supposed to be at home with her - or at least waiting on her to get home so we can have a little more time to get things done. She is in a dance class that I have considered taking her out of after this month, but my husband disagrees - I don't know how to simplify anything.
They have all been sick too - This is week number three for my oldest and two weeks for my other two and my husband. I am tired of going to the doctor and them not getting any better - so this time we are not going. I think they will survive - no fever, just coughing and runny noses and hoarse throats. Again - does this make me a bad parent?
I hope you have a great day - I know that there is a plan in all of this - I just have to persevere.
