Last night, we were invited to the 7th grade awards ceremony. They don't tell you what award your kid is getting, just that they are getting one or more. So we dressed up a bit and went. Olivia got TWO awards.
She recieved the first award of the evening for having her motto selected as the new school motto(they just re-vamped our school system and we have a "middle" school again.) Her idea, "Learn today-soar tomorrow" will be used in this school for now on. She then received the president's silver award for having all A's with no more than 1 or 2 B's for the whole school year. Obama himself signed it(read, intern stamped his autograph). We were very proud. I sat there and had to stop myself from tearing up because this kid
gets dealt this rotten hand at 8 years old by having her Dad diagnosed with cancer and yet, she muddles
through and does this well in school. Pretty impressive to me that she handles this as well as she does.
For Liv, she was most jazzed about her motto being used and that she had another excuse to
work this into a trip to our local ice cream parlor. That kid would eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner, if we let her. So, enough bragging, is it just me? or is there some problem with the blog sites. I had
trouble leaving comments on other blogs but could sign on to my own. I changed my password and it was OK for a day or 2 and now it's happening again. I'm stumped. Maybe I should ask "tech support" AKA-
my 13 year-old. Just maybe Miss Smartypants can figure it out.

Have you checked whether the "Keep me signed in" box is checked?(or is it remember me?) I had a similar problem once and it was that.
You have every right to be bragging about your daughter, you and Tim must be so proud of her.
Brag on, girlfriend! I wish I'd had a mom who bragged about my accomplishments... she was too preoccupied with herself to think about anyone else.
Liv may, from time to time, complain that you are embarrassing her, but later on she will be enormously appreciative of how much energy you have put into parenting her.
And with all you have going on, you are doing a great job - maybe she sees that and is modeling herself after you - a very good thing, I suspect!
