And heaven knows I’ve vented more than a few times about school related frustrations. So this morning’s call telling me my son qualified for one of our district’s Kindergarten integration programs was truly a mini victory for me.

Of course, I hope she does well but she's a perfectionist. I know she'll be so disappointed if she doesn't. I keep telling her that as long as she tries her best, that's all she can do. Wish us luck! <em><strong>Done! I'm sure she'll do great.

Done! I’m sure she’ll do great. I know what you mean about the perfectionist though I seemed to pass that one along to both my kids!

They even do it to their friends. Why do people feel the need to "one up" as I call it, the other person? It's always "my kid can do this," and then the other replies with a "my kid can do that." As if it really mattered. I've started replying, "Wow, that's really nice." Just to avoid talking like that. When I almost felt interrogated when my daughter did something in front of them and they were like "Why didn't you tell me she did that. when did she start doing that." Ugh... can't people just quit competeing and let nature take its course? <em><strong>Wouldn't it be nice if everyone would quit competing and just get along! :)</strong></em> It’s definitely crazy, but people do it out of the education world.
