First Day of Summer: Graduation 2012

Tonight one of my good girlfriend’s daughter graduated from high school. She attended one of the best academic schools in the city. I was absolutely jaw-dropped  shocked at the academic excellence of the vast majority of the students.

My mommy radar immediately went up and I began to strategize just how I’m going to get my own children focused on the exact same path of academic excellence.

I want that! I want my children to be amongst the top members of their class (if asking for them to be one of the top ten is too much). I want them to be recognized for their academic brilliance. Most importantly, I want the security in knowing that they’re going to be already in this life…..in this world.

This first day of summer vacay actually turned out to better than what I could’ve ever wanted it to be. A new desire was planted in me and now I’m going to see it to fruition.

School’s Soon to be Over

The school year will be over for “the bigs” come Thursday after next, and they couldn’t be any happier. They’re both planning late sleep-ins, lots of TV watching, hanging out and relaxing. They have proclaimed that this is gonna be the best summer ever!

My interpretation of summer vacation: being flanked by 4 kids, 24 hours a day for the next 12 weeks!

Woo Hoo!

Is it too early to start counting day to the first day of school?

What are your family’s summer vacation plans?
