Pre-game shows are during my sleeping in time, trying to catch up on all the sleep I don't get during the week.
Earlier today, my 7th grader was dragging me all over Frisco to find supplies for her slime-making business. Then, I had to get home and make snacks for my junior and some of her Planoettes friends who were in the backyard doing the kick-line and jump splits. I have too "exciting" of a life to have time to listen to anything.
Your life is slime. Don't you have a radio in your car? Tell us more about the slime making business. Is there really a market for slime?
Yes, I have a radio in my car. We were listening to music, though. She markets slime online, and the kids at her middle school buy it. She's making decent money, too. Let's just say the kids at her school have a little too much disposable income on their hands. She was just announced as stage manager for her school's musical "The Addams Family" yesterday, so I'm thinking her free time to make slime is about to grind to a stop. The good thing is that both girls have quit ballet, so no more pointe shoes for me to purchase on Saturdays.
Decent for a kid or decent for anybody? Don't let her quit. Making money running her own business is far more educational that theater stuff. She could grow up to be The Queen of Slime and a billionaire.
She's making $50-100 a week. Decent for a 7th grader, and she's purchasing all of her own supplies, which is better. She wants to design sets and stages for a living. She will need to earn a scholarship in order to go to an art school of her choice, so she's building her resume. Normally, 8th graders are stage managers, but she won Best Technician at a theatre camp for the district over the summer (winning a scholarship for next year's camp), and she was the most qualified for the job. Yearly, kids from our district get art school scholarships for the work they've done in theatre here, so no, she won't be quitting theatre for her slime business.
