When my sister doesn't get her way she becomes obstinate and refuses to talk to anyone.
Journal- My friend jess from south windsor is completely obstinate. If she doesn't get her way or get what she wants she becomes completely stubborn, and refuses to do anything. Her parents have always given her what she wants so when she doesnt get it, she throws a fit. Her mother had gotten her a 300 dollar purse, a new ipod a new cellphone and a bunch of new clothes for her birthday. she wanted more stuff and her mom said no so she got extremely out of control and upset when any normal kid would have been completely pleased.

Courtney - what a great picture for the word obstinate! I hope you are feeling better and that we can use the next few weeks to complete some "arts and crafts" projects. I would like to have everyone complete a scarf (crochet) that we can donate to either the nursing home where Kate works or the the WARM shelter. Can you remember to bring in the crochet hook you used? I will have more yarn here for us. Besides the candy wreath, ornaments, baby blanket, and oil painting, what else can we make? Did you want to make an evergreen wreath for your mom? Let me know. Mrs. P
