Since school is just around the corner, today's blurb will be about writing! Remember when you had to write the inevitable 'What I Did Over Summer Vacation" essay in your English class? That was kind of a long time ago for some of us!
What I want you to do now, though, is hone those writing skills.
YOU are a blank college-ruled sheet of paper. YOU have an endless supply of paper, pencils, pens and erasers. YOU have the ability to create the most incredibly story in history. YOU are in charge of the accomplishments you achieve, the overcoming of any hardships that stand in your way, and the excitement of whatever adventures you choose to pursue. YOU title each chapter, fill up the pages with creativity and triumph, and you possess the power to create a fairy tale ending or an underdog victory or the difference-making visionary statement. YOU are not just the story . . . YOU are the author!
What will you write?
Ugh.... I am NOT looking forward to school starting in two weeks. I have to put on the mean mommy hat & start with the... get up & get ready for school, did you do your homework, get off your phone, take your shower, & the best one of all....Go to bed. I am really going to miss summer. Dianna
ReplyDeleteDianna - what would happen if 'mean mommy' put away her hat and allowed her kids to 'sink or swim'. I bet you they would surprise you! You have to let them learn that lesson sooner than later. Why hurt yourself? You don't deserve that grief. I gave up around 9th grade. I kept asking questions and inquiring, but let them deal with life on their own. They stayed up too late, I nipped the bad attitudes the next day. It's not MY fault they're tired. Don't snap at me. They talked too long on the phone, it'll take longer to get their work done. They must suffer the consequences of their actions. Give it a shot! You're the furthest thing from 'mean mommy' any way. So . . . leave that hat packed in the closet! xoxo
