Miss Spelled

failed at momhood this week! can i blame it on the stress?

last week i forgot abt AG's spelling which is every tuesday. IE i forgot to coach/teach her the pre-selected words. i realised it in the morning before she left for school. too late for cramming (besides she would not have understood the torture). so before she stepped out of the gate, i said,"sweetie, just try your best ok. don't leave any blanks. it's ok, mummy loves you." she scored 2/8.

this week i was determined that she would be able to spell all 8 words for today's spelling. i wanted her to ace this one. i called her in the pm to ask how spelling went.

AG : it was fun!
Me : good babe. it's easy when you know all the words right?
AG : yyyyyyeah *sounding spaced out*
Me : what do you mean?
AG : know mummy, none of the words you taught me came out ...
Me : huh?
AG : .... because you taught me the words for week 4 when it is supposed to be week 3.
Me : *silent screaming*
AG : .... but it's ok, i tried my best and i know you love me.

i later lamented to hubs and he said,"well at least she knows all her words for next week!" arrrrrghhhh!
