- Well, our little draft party was just that: little. I think we had 5 people show up, two extra kids. Not bad. Kind of a nice number, actually. Bingo was also a success and a cool way to stay engaged for each pick. A decent spread of food too; my sausage balls went over well and guess what? I get to make them again in about 40 mins. My daughter has a project where they had to document making a recipe then write about it and when they present, they bring the item in. Her day to do so is today but she was up late and I agreed I’d do the work on this one. To be fair, she made them herself for the project a week ago and she also made the ones for last night’s party.
- I also have to follow up with a doctor today. Suffice to say, it’s been a back and forth nightmare. Essentially, a place didn’t get a referral and I had to call back and they still didn’t. Once I got a physical copy, they said that kind of scan isn’t going to find anything for the diagnosis. So where we are now is that I’ve spoken to the doc’s nurse, who agreed it needed to be a different type, and she said she’d ask him. I have not heard back. Sigh.
- It’s prom day and while I am excited about it, it’s also nerve-wracking because I haven’t had a kid do it and I don’t want things to go wonky for him. But at the same time, he’s a senior and at this point, as good as an “adult” who can figure things out. I feel like I’m both involved and on the periphery of it all, which is probably exactly where the parent of a senior should be! (side note: was talking to a friend last night who has twin seniors and he was bragging on his kid going to UF in the Fall and I found it interesting the paths people take; my son is not going to college but his isn’t going to prom so…)
- This day feels stressful but I don’t know why; it really should not. I think because my husband seems annoyed, my son’s plans are all over the place, and I still have grading to do, I feel rushed. I’m also looking out at my yard and feeling just how much there is to do. I just finished a bunch of grading so maybe I’ll get out there and mow the stuff that’s bothering me.
- I know I will emotionally get to a comfortable place today. I’ve done a whole lot better at slowing down, logically looking at issues, and solving them, etc. But man, just when things are the craziest in life, nature goes and tries to throw perimenopause into the mix. Kind of rude, right??

I remember those days where it felt like they were almost a grown up . . .but also, not. What will your son do after graduation?
Not sure yet. He’s figuring it out.
I assume all went well with prom. Good luck with the medical obstacle course!
