I don’t know about you, but I both dread and rejoice when school starts. Our youngest son, Connor, started on Monday and you can tell it’s taking time to readjust. We had a meeting with his counselor and Principal last week, before school started and found out that he is only one credit shy of being a Senior!!!! Since his school is self-paced, if he applies himself, he can actually graduate in December! This mom is happy, but also in a state of shock. Our “baby” graduating! I’m sooooo not ready for that…..very much. He’s in driver’s ed., just got his learner’s permit last week….see where THIS is going?! Oh…did I mention he started his first job. MY BABY!!!!! I’m so very proud of him as I am all of our children!
To all of you Moms and Dads and Grandparents….cherish every single day with your children. Never take a day for granted, even the bad ones. One day you’re coming home from the hospital with that bundle of joy….blink….that bundle is spreading their wings to step out into the world to make THEIR mark!
I hear ya Deb!!!! I can’t believe my Cael is starting 7th grade next week! Time really flies!
I think Jr. High was the worst time for both students and their parents. The kids are under so much pressure at that age. They are more mature and knowledgeable about the world around them, because they are exposed to so much “adult” stuff….but still too young to make the best decisions on their own. They begin to handle things on their own, without telling you, then sometimes have consequences that are regretted. Of course, it’s by our mistakes that we learn….if they are learned! My best to Cael…he had great role models for parents!

Yeah, I can’t wait to see how he starts to mature. Maybe not looking forward to the things he learns so much though. LOL Thanks!!! I know this is definitely going to be a trying time, but it can be a fun time too.
I hope Connor is able to graduate in December and enjoys his last year in High School.
Such a handsome young man. Wishing him a great year.
Thank you, Ann! I happen to think he’s handsome too, and he’s a wonderful young man! I will send him your well wishes.
Have a wonderful day!
Deb
