He was up until 1:30am working on a final English assignment to turn in on the last possible day to submit work for grading (of course), but.....he did actually graduate high school. On a Friday the 13th (of course, again).
Graduation Day
He took pity on me since I've been doing first day of school drop offs from 1990-2013 and this was officially my LAST ONE! He was oddly in a better mood for a 1st day as well - his schedule was posted last night and he's (mostly) happy with the results though he still... Continue Reading →
Football Dinner
Yeah, this is how the night started out - the current parent liaison gives me this monstrosity to thank me for always volunteering for the little things when he asked. Fine, but I am not doing HIS job (by myself) next year! And now I have to keep this thing for a year. I'm already... Continue Reading →
Oct 6 – High school English still sucks
A side effect of a concussion as we have learned in our house is a reduction in cognitive abilities. Naturally we joke that when you start off with a low bar on that skill set, that some brain bruising might be hardly noticeable! Heh. Aren’t we a supportive bunch? But honestly, I...

October 1
Yes, I am going to attempt a post a day in October. It's a good month for it. Football games, the last race of the season, a week off later in the month and hopefully the actual arrival of Fall weather (any day now please - today is another scorcher!) I need the distraction this... Continue Reading →

Varsity football game #1
I swear this blog wont become all Friday Night Lights football but.....what's a proud mama to do but document her son's glory days eh? The team is blessed with a fabulous photographer who has pics up often on the same night after a game. Our #18 being a junior and having just come off of... Continue Reading →
Another One Bites The Dust
Another summer - done! Another school year begins. Here's the status I just dropped on Facebook: First day of 11th grade! No, I didn't take any pictures (I am lame and he wouldn't have allowed it anyway). No, I didn't honk and encourage cars to run over the students streaming across the intersection when the...

May 30th – Is this the month that never ends?
Seriously - is it? I know we typically all lament how darn FAST the days/weeks/months fly by, but either this blogging every day thing has made time slow down or else the 31 days of May are THE longest 31 days of the year! Now, I know I cannot attribute this feeling to just the... Continue Reading →
May 22 – Beauty in many forms
SongSparrow0 SongSparrow1 This morning I was greeted on my run with the songs you can hear above. Over and over the Song Sparrows in the neighborhood were singin' about the day getting started (and, I am sure, yapping about this crazy human huffin' & puffin' as she jogged past them!) Here's what they look like... Continue Reading →
