* Practicing Patience

Today I am practicing patience. Right now my son is finishing his school project. As I sit here I can hear cutting and I have no control over the outcome. I gave him the supplies and am sitting in another room. There are several things going through my mind right now...

• I truly want him to do this project on his own.
• I want him to be proud of it.
• I want him to take it to school tomorrow and do well. (I want the teacher to grasp that he did this himself while simultaneously being impressed)
• I must not go in there and take over....
• I miss school....
• I am such a nerd.
