Posted on April 13, 2017 by homereferee

The SAT is over and DD2 completed it.  Now, for 99.9% of the population, this is not a triumph, just another day in the life of a high school junior.  I was praying a lot from the time I dropped … Continue reading →

Posted on September 4, 2015 by homereferee

I’ve survived curriculum night!  (My parents never had to walk through my schedule, grumble grumble.)  The high school and junior high times were back to back, so I had to book it from the high school to the junior high … Continue reading →

Wrapping up the School Year

Posted on June 4, 2015 by homereferee

Today I attended the last function for the school year.  I just (sarcastically) love sitting on those hard bleachers while two hundred children walk up to get a certificate.  Yes, two thirds of the class made the A-B honor roll, … Continue reading →

Yesterday I attended an honor roll assembly for my oldest. It was only for the sophomore class, and 188 students were being “honored”. What does it take to be part of this assembly? At least one semester with a 3.0 … Continue reading →

Posted on January 20, 2015 by homereferee

Our house is in waiting mode. I think all of us are a little bit on vacation already, reliving our last trip to DisneyWorld in anticipation of this trip. DD2 is, fortunately, two days ahead on schoolwork, so she is … Continue reading →

Time Keeps on Slippin’

Posted on July 20, 2014 by homereferee
