Well this is it, the final week of school! Lots of activity and emotions around the homestead in the past few days. Funny how a thing like forgetting to bring your dress can set a teenager into instant tears! I do not think that in the past week that there has been fewer then 5 teens hanging out and excitement has been running high. And they have one good friend that is not walking the walk with them. He kinda messed up this semester. He is trying to be happy for his friends. The Baccalaureate was good, kids did a good job. Today was Senior honors and the Seniors got to leave early. They have 3 days of exams and they are done on Wed. Sunday after the commencements I want to have sandwiches at the house. Hope you all can make it!

OK I forgot to include the date of Carissa’s Graduation part. June 27th. Start at  3:00 pm.

I need purple and gold stuff……

Baccalaureate   May 27th 5:30 pm

Senior Prom May 2nd 8:00 pm

Band Bounce May 6th, 7th, and 8th 7:00 pm

Last day of school June 3rd  (well not really kid cause there is that collage thing)

Commencements June 7th 1:00 pm

And Carissa got her welcome letter to Delta…

I guess we did everything right!

Next step is Compass assessment, then Orientation and registration.  !!!!!!!

She asked me if she could not start in the fall but wait until winter semester, stating that her whole life she has started in the fall.

I informed her that her Dad’s health insurance would be canceled if she did not attend full time, starting in the fall. I got an eye roll but no arguement. Very adult decision! Can it really be this easy…..

Today was a long day, oh and Happy Easter everybody! Kris had a thing with Nate’s mom and her Dad today. Great kid, colored eggs with me last night and Nate cooked our Pre Easter supper! Saw Patrick and family for a little bit yesterday, Keegan is growing so fast. He does not know who I am. I must send a pic that I like of me, one that won’t scare him. LOL! Maybe Patrick can show him it and he won’t be so wary of me. That will pass. Just to long between visits and to short of time with him.

This quiting smoking idea/revelation/goal is starting to panic me, made for a long day. But I got a handle on it and back on my plan! In one week I have gone from 60  smokes a day to about 30. By the end of the week the goal will be 20. WoW! Walked 1 block today, that was easy so I will do 2 tomorrow. And I now drink half the coffee I have been. Hope to in the next month be down to 1 cup in the morning, but going to follow Jo’s advice and work on the smoking first. Did lose 7 pounds, 5 I am sure was water because it came off in 1 day but hey I know that smokers on average gain about 10 when they quit so now I have a little wiggle room! I will be blogging my accomplishments here daily as I succeed in my next months goals. PLEASE feel free to give a few pats on the back and a few atta girls, I will need them and it’s nice to know your not alone in your pursuits. Also I will update all the info about the upcoming Graduate!

I have a Blog! Thank you David!
