I thought I should take a break from my day to share with you how much fun it's been around the house.
Paige has a friend over and I told her instead of playing Minecraft they should do some real crafts or something. We have a ton of half-used and even unopened craft kits. Of course, I should have known the reason they were unused is because without a doubt Paige is NOT a craft person. She doesn't have the patience for it, PERIOD. She gets easily frustrated and bored. Basically, after practically throwing a tantrum in front of her friend (who happens to like crafts) craft time was over. Of course it didn't help that of the 25 project options, she picks the hardest one to do. Oh well, glad that's over! GRRR. Anyone wants some craft kits?
That fun has been followed by Ashley reading and annotating Beowulf all day. It's a summer reading assignment for her upcoming English class and since school starts in 5 days, it's time to get that baby finished. English and literature are not Ashley's favorite subjects and honestly, I'm not a fan of Beowulf either but, "PUH-LEASE!" I'm sick of hearing about how much you dislike this ridiculous book. What's worse than reading Beowulf? Listening to your kid complain about reading Beowulf.
Well, that's my complaining for the day. I will now go find some chocolate to eat.
