In lieu of an actual post, a quick update that may or may not hint at future post topics.
Tommy – Every semester is a fog of not knowing until final grades appear, so we are stuck in a holding pattern.
Sarah – For an assortment of reasons, including some that she won’t admit, Sarah has decided that she wants to graduate high school early. I am waiting to hear the school’s response to her application for early graduation before I make a lengthy post that is guaranteed to annoy Sarah.
Noah – He who should be known as man-boy has outgrown every single item in his closet. Except his shoes. He melted his shoes in a campfire. Anyone have spare flour sacks he can wear until he stops growing?
Amy – Has become a pop music jukebox whose music preferences take on a whole new meaning when they are coming out of the mouth of a tiny 7-year-old.
Evan – Fell asleep while sitting at the table and nearly bit straight through his lip. It was horrible and hysterical at the same time, just like Evan.
Doug – “Accidentally” punched me in the face when the dog scared him. Now he knows what to do for my next birthday.
Me – Sitting on the sidelines and laughing at the current wave of marketing directed at Mommy Bloggers.
For what it’s worth, my biggest lifelong regret is not going to college TWO years early when I had the chance in Dallas. Followed closely by not fighting harder to graduate just one year early once we moved to TN. I still hold it against the principal that he refused to sign off. (He wouldn’t even allow me to do dual-enrollment, which is very commonplace now.)
But I know everyone’s different. At least if she doesn’t graduate early, she needs to take EVERY SINGLE AP class that’s available so at least it’s not a complete and total waste of time, like senior year was for me.
