High Adventure!

Living with an over achiever can be full on high drama sometimes. I still remember the phone call I received when Rick and I were in Hawaii (about to ride horses). My 7th grade daughter locked in her room calling me and sobbing about a math test grade. I had to talk her down from hysteria and assure her that everything would be ok. I gave her a couple of scenerios and the teacher ended up doing what I said he would. I was reminded of that last night as she was working on her speech project. She always stresses when it is a group grade because she has to rely on others for her grade. She had one partner bail for a doctors' appointment. So last night she was doing the display board and was totally having a melt down at one point. I helped her with her board and gave her ideas and made the cupcakes (Ginger's idea) and she was a changed girl when it all came together. I do believe that I will be on the girl's speed dial when she goes to college, and secretly that is right where I want to be!
