No White Flag Today

Day 93

Tuesday

A day of little victories.

4th grade A listened…a little bit more. Only had to count down from 10 to cool down three times during class.

Successfully studied for a spelling test with a child that had just come from Judo class and had a chocolate milkshake on the way home. His mom’s apology before class, “I’m sorry, he’s out of control, but do what you can.” And so, with the level of difficulty akin to fly-fishing with your bare hands, we got hold of the vocabulary and his pencil and managed to get most of it in his memory. (Results to be seen Thursday after his spelling test).

One of those days where you say, “Ok, so this week really is going to happen. Monday wasn’t a fluke.” Gives you just enough challenges to make ya sweat, but cuts you enough slack that you actually believe you’re gonna make it.
