This pretty much sums up my summer with Andrew. But, it wasn't reading (that would have been a piece of cake). No. It was math. Algebra I to be exact. He tested out of 8th grade math during last school year, so they let him do an independent study. This was so he can take Honors Algebra II this year (along with all the other Honors courses he's taking). He just finished the course Sunday night. Just like the cartoon, I did everything I could to make sure he worked on it. He kept putting it off until the last minute. Then, he was ticked at me, because I wouldn't allow him to attend my great-aunt's birthday party two hours away. I told him the math needed to be done before he could go. He didn't believe me and found out the hard way I meant it. He did finally get it done and thinks he passed with a 90%. So today was the first day of school - Andrew headed off to his Freshman year and Grace started first grade. It just doesn't seem possible. Now the fun begins - football cheerleading for Grace, cross country and marching band for Andrew. And because nothing can be easy, almost 85% of the events clash with one another. How do they expect me and Steve to be in three different places at once? Is it summer yet???
