Oh Lena...

Hi everyone.

Driving with Lena in a car for 20 minutes is one of the most exhausting things you can do...I got home an hour ago but wanted to get on here while the happenings are still clear in my mind

She wants...

A Vera Bradley book bag-specifically this one. I like this color and this design the best too :)

So she's been begging I mean annoyingly begging my parents to get it for her. I told them she always gets what she wants so don't. She'll have to earn her way to getting it. My dad said with the way she was asking he said he won't get her one right now. She would come home after school saying all the dorks don't have them (and her). 

Today at piano lessons the teacher said, Lena you need a job. You want sooo much!

So she got started in the car...

Keep in mind, I told her I would give her $20 if for the next few weeks she did household tasks-a good number of them. She had already started collecting money, (well since this Sunday one of my Uncles randomly gave her $5 so she got an idea...) and kept walking around the house asking for donations. What surprises me is that Victor said he will give ALL of his $80 so that she can get one. I asked "why???" He said, "because she wants one." What a kind soul. I was kind at one point too. I decided I would just order it and surprise her, but again, I don't want her to get everything so "easily." 

Today the job idea REALLY got to her. She said to text my uncle and ask if she can clean his house for $10 because Lena wants to buy something she needs. I did text Uncle. He said she can come over and do it :)

Then she said "ask your friends if I can do something for this, but don't do it and embarrass me so they all look and smile at me. Ask Diana and Tanya. They are the nicest. I said, Diana doesn't have a job right now. "Well, ask Tanya then. Oh and Ira, she works."

I was silent.

She speaks up a few minutes later. "You have the most weirdest excuses in the whole wide world."  

"What are you talking about Lena?"

"You don't take me to babysitting with you Monday nights. You say oh the lady won't want you there. You never asked. I bet all you do is say oh you're so cute so cute and kiss them. When you ask the lady you'll see, I'm telling you she will be like "sure" (raises her voice a pitch higher) and it won't be a big deal at all. Lesya are you listening to me?" 

Oh boy oh boy, I tell my parents "this is definitely not another Lesya for you."

When we got home she brought out a piece of paper from her folder and said, "sign me up for fitness club. This is a great opportunity to lose weight." Again-oh boy.

Final words, if you actually read this DO NOT MENTION ANY OF THE ABOVE TO HER because she will be like "why did you tell all your friends? You always embarrass me."

Blessings,

Lesya
