A Bit Overwhelmed

It is official. In the later hours of the morning today, I officially became the mother of a high school student. I was in denial until he stopped through my office today, book receipts, lock, gym uniform, schedule, and ID (that even mentions the words "High School) in hand. I think I must pass out now. I was trying to save the passing out until they peeled the steri-strips off of my stitches tonight for my wound check, but I think I'll just do it now and get it over with.

Tonight is also a parent orientation at the high school. YIKES. It's easier to pretend he's still in 8th grade if I don't have to actually visit the high school. I think, though, that if I don't go, I'll miss something important. Perhaps I'd better have a beverage between the doctor visit and the visit to the high school.
