it's monday. i don't know about you but, my mondays are always busy. with it being the start of a new week and trying to get the day going smoothly for all is a big deal in our home. does everyone have everything...back packs, homework, lunch money, sports gear and the list goes on. oh, and what about the weekly schedule for everyone. yeah, that is a chore in itself. so to my monday madness...it WILL be a good one!!! last friday my daughter decided she no longer wanted to go to the school she has been attending for the past 6 years. with our move in july she wanted to go to the new school {we moved to the adjoining town 10 minutes from our previous home}. i explained to her that if we transferred and she didn't like it there, there was no going back. she proceeded to tell me she knows and that she was ready. ok, then we will get all the paper work and you can start tuesday. she said i want to start monday. i informed her that she need to get all of her things from her old school and say good-bye to her friends. again she told me so confidently...i got everything i need and i already said good-bye to those that i wanted too. did this ever shock me!! my little girl {who is almost 11 but, the size of a 6 year old} made this choice all on her own and she was ready to start a new chapter in her life. i learned a valuable lesson from her. sometimes we ne
