TGIF

I don't know why this week has seemed so long and hard, maybe it is because our weekends are so full and not necessarily restful, but I am really glad it is Friday.

Chloe does not have a football game this evening, but the band is staying after school to rehearse for tomorrow's competition. I will pick her up at 9:30 PM. I may need to set an alarm so I'm sure to be awake! I think Chloe needs to be back at school at 10:30 AM tomorrow (which in Mr. Clark time means no later than 10:15 AM). I was all excited thinking we could sleep in a little on Saturday, by 'we' I mean me, but EJ is taking the SAT tomorrow and needs to report no later than 7:45 AM. Since I don't feel it would be fair to make Chloe walk to the HS in the morning just so I don't have to get up a little earlier than I would like, I can't let EJ take the car and I won't be sleeping in this Saturday. Oh well, maybe next weekend?

Chloe told me one night this week that she will probably have the entire sound track of "Wicked" memorized by the time they see the show. She is already feeling sorry for the person that will sit next to her and anticipates being begged to "shut up" at least once. :-)

Katie is in NY with her dad this weekend to attend a family wedding. Chloe and EJ were unable to make the trip because of the band competition and the SAT. Life is full of these tough decisions, but knowing that doesn't make them any easier to decide. I think of the three of them, EJ will have the least amount of fun! :-) Maybe Sunday things will be more entertaining. He would like to go to Athens, GA (UGA) with his friend TJ to visit TJ's sister, Marilin on Sunday after church. I'm thinking about that. I would like to be reassured with a few more details first. EJ will not have a soccer game this weekend because of the SAT. Too many boys this age taking the test, not enough players to play.

This will be the last time EJ takes the SAT and I hope this time he will be happy with his score. I would have been thrilled with his first attempt. But kudos to him for trying to improve. But this spring I'll be signing up for Chloe to take her first one. Goodness!

SAVE THE DATE

I called the Forsyth County BOE this morning to ask if they had a graduation date for South Forsyth HS.

There are only 2 county HS's that have committed to dates and South is one of them. I was told Tuesday, May 26. Time TBA. I had in my head it would be after Memorial Day like last year's class, but that was based on intuition not fact.

So for those of you who have already asked me so you can plan ahead (thank you for considering coming), now you have information to help you make your plans.
