Talent

DQ has gone through every sport and hobby known to man. Soccer? Hated it. Basketball, couldn't get that darn ball anywhere near the basket and dribbling...yeah, not so much. Ballet? Kicked out cause she kept hanging on the bar like a monkey. Tap, uh, yeah, not so much. Swimming? Refuses to go underwater (even in the bathtub) without goggles. Jewelry making? I am still picking beads out of the carpet two years later. Basically I quit letting her join anything because it wasn't worth the pain involved (hers AND mine). After much begging and cajoling I finally signed her up for volleyball. She loves it and she's pretty darn good. Then recently I signed her up for piano lessons. Her teacher says DQ has "an ear" whatever that means. What I know is that she is flying through the book, practicing every day and LOVING playing the piano.


I don't know if she just really likes these two things or if she's finally growing up a bit. Either way, life in our house is good these days.

I would love to come to one of DQ's games. Let me know when they are. Dr. Quinn and Sulley (wasn't that her husbands name on the show) and M would enjoy it.

About Me
I'm a wife, a mom, an educator and a normal (okay, relative term here) person who makes frequent mistakes. I have a lot to say, hence the blog. My kids were adopted as babies (one through an agency and one through the foster care system). I love to talk about adoption. My daughter has sensory issues as well as ADHD. I like to vent about parenting. I am occasionally rosy, usually blunt and sometimes I am simply downright rude. Don't read if it offends you. I may sometimes write about my school experiences so let me cover my bases. I don't live in your town, I don't work at your school, I am not talking about your child, you don't know me. If you think you've figured out who I am...ask me, I will lie and say you don't know me. email me at chocolatecoffeesleep@hotmail.com
