Today, I am welcoming Jessica from My Time as Mom
Like so many of my new blogging friends, we met on Twitter.
She is always ready with encouragement or help, an online hug or even a great big laugh.
Plus she’s so cool because she co-founded vlogtalk, which is something that is taking over the blogging world.
Seriously, all the cool kids are doing it.
Plus she’s oppossed to Housework, which means she’s literally my twin.
She’s So Funny, Fashionable and a a really, really great mom!
I am honored to have her here to share her moment with us:

A proud mommy moment
9:15 am we arrive at the optometrist for my oldest daughter’s yearly eye exam.
She is unhappy about the time of the appointment but I tell her it should not take too long.
Doctor checks her eyes and says she needs to do one more test.
With eye drops that will dilate her eyes.
And we have to wait 35 minutes for the drops to take effect.
“Okay” I say although I can feel the dirty looks coming from the child’s face.
Drops go in and we are ushered to the waiting room to pick out new glasses.
Five minutes into this waiting game it begins.
“How much longer?”
“I’m going to be so late for school.”
“There will be so much work for me to do on my desk when I finally get there.”
“MOM! I want to go to school now. Why did you make this appointment on a school day?”
All of these statements spoken by my 7 year old daughter in first grade.
I was annoyed.
But I was also proud.
Proud that she loves school so much that she doesn’t want to miss one moment of it.
Proud because I know I did something right in raising this beautiful little girl.
Proud because she takes after her mama.

Jessica, thanks so much for being here today.
I am so glad you shared your story with us.
Kids sure know how to make you angry yet so proud at the same time.
I love how much H loves school! She makes her mommy's teacher friend proud, too.
Great guest poster today!
Such a good thing that she loves school. Makes life just that much sweeter!
Sounds like she in store for big things. I would be proud too.
Aww, that is a proud mom moment! Good job Jessica, and your daughter looks adorable in those glasses!
So sweet! I'm already a fan of Jessica. My first grader was at the optometrist last month and was sad because she WASN'T missing school.
Sounds like our first graders are opposites.
Thank you! She loves her glasses but she loves school more.
I hope her love of school continues.
She's so dang cute, Jessica! Sounds like me when I was little. I loved school and still do. I finished my masters last year and am seriously thinking of getting a phd. We'll see!
Thank you so much for featuring me today!
She is so much like her mom sometimes with her love for school.
Good for you. I'm deciding right now whether I want to go for my Master's.
I hope she continues to love it as she gets older.
Exactly!
I thought the teacher in you would love this story.
They are good at doing things like that.
It's good they have a place they love going to where they can wear all their fancy clothes.
Great proud mommy moment! What a smart girl!
Love those moments when our kids amaze us.. It kinda makes up for the days we want to wring their necks.
I love it!! No one is too cool for school. The last line is the best.
Love it! I'd be so proud too, I loved school and want my kids to be the same way!
Thank you! She is very smart and I'm very proud of her.
It's all about the balance.
You can never be too cool for school.
I hope they love it just as much as my daughter does.
I want your kid. My 1st grader is already channeling Ferris Bueller in the number of times she has been too "sick" for school.
Already a Bueller and it's only first grade. You might need to pull out some bribery tricks to overcome that.
