Alexis and her school stress

I think Alexis is supposed to be Juli's daughter and not mine. She is always stressing about school. They have a spelling test every Friday at school and she stresses over the test. She has spelling homework every night, and has earned a 100% on every test. but still worries about the test. This past Thursday I gave her the test out loud, and she did fine. I looked at her and she had her hand on her head. I asked her what was wrong, and she said she still was not ready to take the test. She sat there for a minute and said, "Mommy I think I need to write my words 3x each so I can really be ready!" She sat there and wrote her words out, and yes she earned another 100. Well we all know Jane waits until the last minute to do any kind of schoolwork, and Juli spends hours studying. I guess that's why Juli earned that leather coat in high school and I did not. At least I know Alexis got a few good Kresl genes from her aunt Juli, and grandpa Kresl also. Thanks dad and Juli!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I had to go in and edit this post because my dad noticed I spelled genes as jeans. According to mom he was devastated. I would like dad to know that neither Juli, Tim, or Renee noticed it was wrong. Sorry dad, I was trying to do the post and handle three children that were supposed to be in bed. I do remember, "We are a walking talking chemical factory, and we run on chemical energy."
I was also corrected by Juli that she earned the leather jacket in 8th grade, but I'm sure she had straight A's in high school.

I earned the coat in 8th grade :-) Also, my only stress over spelling was why was I so terrible at it. I don't think Alexis got that from me.

If she did get the Kresl jeans you won't have to tell her she is smart. A true Kresl knows they are smart without being told.
