Adulting sucks.
Paying bills sucks, taking care of yourself sucks, and most of all, listening to an upset 6 year old niece, sucks.
I try and call my sister in the mornings and during my lunch break since she is usually teaching piano when I get off work and twice now that I have called my sister in the morning my niece is upset.
She's not liking this school year so far.
My niece is a mixture of her father and me. My poor sister just carried her.
LORD, HELP US!!!!
Her dad gets irritated very easily.
I'm not any better.
My sister, however, is the very patient one and that totally skipped right over my niece and onto her second kid.
My niece is in 1st grade and school is just so hard.
(The drama, right?)
She stresses she won't finish in time so she gets stressed and spends more time stressing about it rather than staying calm and just getting the work done. (She gets that from her dad.)
School was easy for me.
I made good grades and breezed right through.
Except for my conduct grades. I was always in trouble for talking to much or too loud.
Who would have thought?
Me. The talker!
Plus now that she's in 1st grade she has a different class and different classmates.
Therefore she's without her friends now.
Well, apparently there's some girls in her class that she likes to play with but they have their own little clique going so when she asks to play with them they so no because they're already playing with someone else.
Little bitches.
I won't tell her it get's any better because that would be a lie.
BUT, I would go kick some 6 year old ass if I could.
I hate seeing her upset like that.
I tried to have a little pep talk with her today hoping that maybe it'll sound little different coming from her cool aunt when in reality I just want to march right up to that school and make those teachers make those mean little girls play with my niece. But I can't do that. I can't fix everything for her. She's gotta figure it out on her own. And I know she will, it's just a matter of her finding how to do that.
I think I'd do just about anything to be a kid again but if it meant dealing with little rude girls like that again, no thank you.
Ugh, it just pains me to see she's upset like that.
And she also showed me her wiggly tooth tonight.
Time, please slow down. My mini me isn't staying so mini.
Until next time....
