Emily
is a good friend of my youngest daughter
Kate
both are freshman
and have 9th period free
and they usually sit together
ah remember those good old free periods?
golden moments of precious time!
although
its not a bad deal to have first period free either
its a stress buster in a way
Being able to start the day doing a little catch up
is a little piece of heaven
the bonus time allows you the opportunity
to finish the homework you did not complete the night before
or
do a little last minute cramming for a test
However, having last period free is nothing to complain about
students are allowed to leave early and head home if they so desire
although
most kids opt to utilize that extra time to socialize
which is not a bad thing
even though you could get a jump on your homework
9 times out of 10
its the period most of the kids use to unwind and chat with friends
I digress
Back to Emily
I love Emily!
for quite a few reasons
truthfully
I love all of Kates friends
Claire
I certainly don't want you to feel left out
congats on making the cheerleading squad next year
I know you were a tad nervous
that's another story
oh
I could mention a few more of Kates good friends
another time...another story
because this is about
Emily
Kate told me Emily reads all my blogs
to prove it
the day after I posted a story about
Kate writing a traditional Japanese poem
Emily
commented
"Nice tanka Kate, I liked your poem"
Kate had written a traditional Japanese poem
that I posted on Mothers Day
My daughter was flabbergasted
someone actually read one of her mothers blogs?
voluntarily
without being forced
she was amazed!
I guess Emily must have been really bored
yet Kate insisted
much to our
total astonishment
that Emily actually reads all of them
she even talked about some of her favorites!
wow
I'm so touched!
When is Emily's birthday?
I'm going to have to remember to send a card and get her a little something
and
perhaps I should write her a thank you note
while I'm at it?
Kate said Emily would be so happy if I mentioned her name in here
so
Emily
I hope this makes you happy
boy, I wish it was this easy
to make my own kids happy
one thing I know for sure
mentioning their name in a story
just wouldnt cut it!
