Mid-week blahs

I dislike Wednesdays for some reason. I hate the term "Hump Day" for some reason. I don't even know why.

I was reading through the latest CK issue and back to school is the main thing this month. I guess cuz the girls go back so early (already into their 3rd week) then for me August is no longer summer time. Anyway they offered some hints on making some layouts and since I at least make sure to get some first-day-of-school pictures before they head out the door I thought I better write down my feelings about it too. Ya never know when I might just decide to actually make a page.

I have never had a hard time adjusting to Tori growing up. I don't even know how to explain it. She is a great girl and just seems to get along with everyone she meets. She has very strong opinions and isn't the least bit afraid of voicing those opinions either. She works hard in her classes and doesn't appreciate when others are less than studious. She is the smart kid in class but doesn't like to be labeled that. I know that she will work hard for what she wants and I don't really have to worry about her.

Emily on the other hand. She is the type of person that is book smart and not so people smart. She has no trouble at all in school, straight A's and reads constantly. Math comes easy to her, and I know that she can do whatever she sets her mind to. She is a very literal person. There are no Grey areas with her. It is all black or white. She has friends, but not a Best Friend. She is in the 6th grade this year and I worry about peer influences. I talk to her and spend lots of time with her letting her know that I am always here for her and I hope as she reaches closer to that teenage time that she doesn't forget it.

Being a mom is hard. Some days I really wonder if I was cut out for this job. I know that I have no choice, I will just work hard to be the best mom I can be for my girls.
