Parked in Parker

I have had my blog EXACTLY 4 days, this is my 4th post, but guess how many posts I actually have?  Three.  Why?  I don't know.  Maybe if I would quit messing around on this thing and just post and write thing, my stuff would not disappear.  Urrgh!  So frustrating!

We did not do a lot tonight.  Abby was tired.  She had a fit after school when Chris made her work on her math and she rushed through it and of course did not get it right.  She had to sit at the table until she got it right.  She did not think that was too much fun, as she continued to rush and try to make up her own rules.  Did you know that there are 'set in stone rules' for multiplication?  You can't just do whatever you feel like doing like add, or subtract.  She ended up doing it right and then she took a nap.  She is trying to wink and smile to get out of math and it just is not working this time.  Especially not on Dad.

Emma had her first day of track practice.  I love that Chris works from home and is able to pick her up from practice.  Her is what I heard about practice.  She hated it.  She fell over 3 hurdles, she had to run 1/2 a mile and a 100 yard dash and walk the cross country course.  She doesn't want to go back, ever!  She would rather DIE!  She hates to run.  She is too clumsy for track, she just isn't good.   She wants to do tumbling to get ready for cheerleading.  This is what I told her ...  It takes 3 months to really know if you like something or not, running is good for you, practice makes perfect, think of how good you are going to feel, you can still take tumbling to get ready for cheerleading, think of what good shape you are going to be in for CROSS COUNTRY next fall.  She didn't laugh. 

 I need to remember, she is going to be picking out my nursing home, the prospects today are not looking good.
