My daughter came home from school the other day moaning and groaning about having a pimple. That’s right she has ONE pimple and thinks it’s the end of the world. Keep in mind that this child is only 10 so I think she has a couple years to go before she has to worry about pimples, acne attacks and taking weight loss pills. I swear that she’s 10 going on 20 with the way she reacts sometimes. Even though it is a pimple, I told her it was a mosquito bite and that it will go away on it’s own. This made her quite happy and I haven’t heard about the pimple since. I’m just wondering what major catastorphy is going to happen next with her.

Yesterday my daughter came home from school with a permission slip to go skating with her class as well as the dates and times that they will be going. After I took a look at the slip she then politely informed me that because she is in grade 5, I won’t need to go with her anymore. She did give me permission to attend her last skate of the year. I mainly go to all the kid’s skating sessions just to watch their progress. But I guess that won’t be happening this year. She is growing up so fast and I guess she is getting a little too old to have mom hanging around quite so much. This did make me a little sad, but I will follow her wishes and only go to the rink with her during the last skate of the year.
