What a week it's been! Back to school is crrrrazy! Many very cool things have happened this week. I'll write more tonight. I'm excited about changes for the upcoming year and the patience that I'm learning as I face the inevitable speed bumps on my little journey.
I remember telling Ella, when she was freaking out about doing poorly on an assignment in school in second grade (yeah, that's 11 years ago) that mistakes are like arrows that point to the things we need to work on, the things we need to practice. Mistakes are gifts (this, of course is the wisdom of my Zen-genius-father coming from my mouth). I've had a lot of "gifts" in the last few weeks. I'm learning from them. This makes me happy. Mildly frustrated and happy.
I LIED! I didn't post more on Friday! I'll see if I can get to it in the next day or so. School starts tomorrow, and we are actually ready! Wowzah!
