Amazing

What amazes me about my 11 year old is her ability to do some great things around the house. I hosted Bunco on Wednesday, and if it wasn't for her, there is no way the house would have been as tidy. She is really capable of cleaning.

What boggles me is my growing up girl who is so capable of cleaning, leaves her own little world in clutter. Her jacket pockets are always stuffed with garbage and "treasures" like rocks she finds on the walk home from the bus. Every tag and wrapper never makes it to the garbage no matter how much I ask and remind. Her brain is somewhere else when everyday tidyness is requested. Is this normal? I've never had an 11 year old before.
