Poor Emily

Emily got off the bus yesterday, looking entirely EXHAUSTED, and also a little sad. The bus was late in dropping her off, and we BARELY had time to get home, change her into her ballet outfit, and head out the door to dance, so I didn't question her right away. But as soon as we got into the car to head for home, she fell apart and insisted it was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day (ever read that book? My kids enjoy it!). Apparently, a classmate had spilled some juice at lunch, and decided to use Em's knit poncho/shawl as a rag to clean it up. And a girl on the bus (friend/neighbor girl, which made it worse!) reached down and stole the shoe off Em's foot, threw it to the front of the bus, and EMILY got in trouble for it. She couldn't find her best friend at recess, and ran out of time to finish a math paper in class.

I'd agree it was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!

Thankfully, dance class cheered her right back up; she came home and did awesome on the online math program she was supposed to do, AND she was enjoying her new fairy book so much that she BEGGED to read longer than the required 20 minutes!!

Somedays it's just not easy being a kid. Poor girl.
I had a no good day yesterday with Serena being out sick.
One assistant and three chairs equal an exhausted ME!

Well that is just sad. I'm glad she didn't go to bed feeling that badly. :)

Awhhh :( Glad it got better towards the end of the day though. I have days like that where I just like to have a good cry and then I'm all better.
