friday night news
the cupcakes all ready to go! 200 of them - all iced in pink with a blue "S"my girl didn't win the election for school captain - a mere 20 votes separated her from winning. She is disappointed as 17 year old girls get at times like this ~ ~ doesn't it break your heart as a mum when something like this happens? with age comes maturity (most times) and I know that this is just a teeny tiny hiccough in the road we call life ~ and I guess it is getting her ready for other disappointments that will come her way ~ we all have them. It will also teach her that life goes on & tomorrow the sun will shine and this time on her!
me? Well, I am actually happy that she lost ~ it is a big commitment to be school captain as well as sit for your final year exams in year 12 ~ so to me it is a blessing but shhhh she doesn't know I think that.
the rest of my day? I bought a few paints & some plaster of paris for my art doll ~ bits for the chocolate swap ~ trims & braids for a bag that is in my head & some camellias to plant along my driveway ~ my week has come to an end

I felt the same way when My daughter tried out cheer and didn't make it..i felt bad for her....but kindof relieved....cheer costs a fortune and takes up ALL of your time....including the parents time...
thing was she wasn't even all that upset about not making it..LOL
When the girls were younger I would be a nervous wreck when they wanted to run or try out for something. I look back and I was more nervous than they were and if they didn't get something I was more upset! LOL All the ups and downs made them wonderful adults that I am very proud of.
I too have consoled my daughter when she didnt get voted class captain ! Ive consoled my son when his first girlfriend dumped him ! They have both grown into wonderful adults...they need to experience the downs so they can rejoice in the ups. She did a wonderful job on the cupcakes !!
I think the fact she tried is great - you know "nothing ventured, nothing gained"? With each try at something there may be a failure now and then.... but the biggest failure would be not to have tried at all. So to me, Sophie is already a winner! :)

Those cupcakes look scrumptious! As for your daughter, it's a little sad, but it does seem like a very time-consuming position. And goodness knows, senior year is busy enough without added responsibilities!
As a parent, when my child feels pain, I feel it too…So I would always tell her everything is for a reason….and over time that statement has proven to be right. So now she maintains that thought and is way less disappointed when things don’t always go according to plan. Plus together we always ask ourselves, “What am I suppose to learn from this?” I'm sure something better will come along to replace your daughters disappointment!
Have a great weekend

We have all hurt when are child hurts, but as you said there are times we win and times we do not. Some time in her life a bigger and better thing will come up and she will win, and this will only be a memory.
Your daughter is tops in my book just for having tried, and also for having made all those cupcakes!
Hooray for her!!!!!
She probably didn't win because something much better is waiting for her.

Ha, I know what you mean. I remember by the time baseball playoffs were happening, I couldn't wait for the teen's team to lose so it would finaly be over with!! Love those cupcakes!! xoxo
