Discouraged

I know that there is really no way around it, as I just don't like any of the other options and school just seems to run in my blood, but I get real discouraged on days like today. Not because my girls not learning anything, quite the contrary. I have been able to watch her bloom. I just get cold, tired, and overprotective...... yet Monkey still manages to get ahold of something from school that Bug worked really hard at and tear it to shreds. I really am thankful I never had a little brother or sister growing up..... they may not have made it till their second birthday.... then I stop and think of all the laughter and fun she brings to the house and how sad it would be without her.... even if it does mean walking around the room looking for tiny shreds of paper in an attempt to glue a school project back together yet again and giving up only to have to do it all over again....
