is it possible?
must be because i ordered the cap & gown today. *sigh*
my baby is ready to graduate. *sniffle*
i got the tassel with '06 on it because if not for having taken off about 3.5 months to work full time with my dad while tommy's dad was in the hospital and home recovering.. well, he'd have already graduated.
he wanted traditional black (how boring are boys?!?! sheesh!) with a blue/silver tassel. at least i get a little color.
i have no idea what we're gonna do. it'll be a couple weeks before the duds are delivered, so i have a bit of time to come up with something or go crazy while not coming up with something.
more likely that last one. gah.
i'm not sure what's gonna happen with the little (and i mean tiny!) church we've been attending. meaning there just aren't very many people there. i suspect the cold weather doesn't help that a whole lot. neither does the fact that one family that sorta promoted the church in the beginning has now left and i'm not sure what might be going on in that situation.
i know one thing though, the little place that's rented now for the church belongs to that family. *a-heh* yeah. last i heard, though, they'd agreed to extend the lease til the end of this year. maybe, i said maaaybe another place can be found by then. *shrugs* i dunno.
but.... *sheesh* talk about your rabbit trails!... the pastor's wife just came outta the blue back around Christmastime and started talking about some sort of graduation party and how the church wanted to do something for corey's graduation, etc.
when i told her i couldn't speak for him as to a date he'd be "finished", and i still hadn't really come up with any definite plans for a celebration....
she kinda jumped in telling me "we" could do something at the church, but we'd wait til like may, "y'know, closer to normal graduation time.."
i musta made a funny face because she then pedalled backward with "not that you're not normal..." etc. *sigh*
anyhow... i didn't pull out my gigantic hat pin and bust her bubble right there and then, but we'll have his party whenever we get good and ready. "normal graduation time" or not. *gah*
i guess she may have been thinking more about being able to find graduation cards or gifts or something??? but you can get those at any time if you look around a little. *shaking head* i just don't know what all that was about, if anything!?
but never mind.... my baby has finally finished and i'm pretty stunned. not that he finished (shame on you!!) but that i'm at this mile marker! who put me over on the supertrain?? i didn't WANT to be on the supertrain!! *waaaahhhh!*
sheesh. so here i am with my whole life/brain/house/mind/house(repeat repetitively) all a mess and i need to figure out what to do for my picky/hard to figure out/choosy/fussy/nice/finicky/handsome son's first graduation!!
*blabadablabadabla* with the finger flapping of the lips as in craziness.
help me?

YEAH C!!!!
Yeah, Mellie wants a tassel with 2006. gotta order that today. She has refused to wear a cap and gown, although she wanted a cap "just to have" well, missy, if your not going to wear it, I'm not going to buy it! lol We're knee deep into graduation/birthday party plans with a very uncooperative graduate/birthday girl.
sigh......
Hope your having better luck with your graduate!

where's that big paddle? whoooop it on her ol' butt! 'at's whut i say! *mwah-ha-ha*
;) 'at'll make her cooper'ate! *ha!*
i've told corey he's having a nice cap & gown pic made no matter what, so get over it. *hehehe*
then he's like "well, what about a senior portrait?"
sheesh! i'm thinkin'...um, it's too cold to do those now! as i think the nicest ones are outdoors. you were smart to go ahead and do mellum's aready! *hmph!*
[why didn't you poke me!?! if that was a hint, i wasn't paying attention!]
anyhow... i want to go ahead and do the 'diploma presentation' thingie in the next little bit, but am still in the rack-my-brains stage about how/where/when etc. to do that.
he, of course, wants very low key, and i agree, but then again... want folkses to know, too. i think i'll go ahead and fix the '06 stationary i have and send to some closer relatives/friends and then maybe.. MAYBE... put an announcement in the paper w/his picture. -- i'll have to think on that one awhile. i mean, you CAN have their pix put in the paper in a "homeschool/private school" section during "normal graduation time". *bah* but as said... his diploma will say 2006, so what an insult to have to list w/the '07 grads. *blech!*
*sigh* ah well... we'll just have to see how it goes. see if i can get a decent pic!! i made some awesome "senior/cap-gown" pix of my friend's son. (she couldn't pay for the sch pkg) i put the lettering, etc. on, made several sizes and "effects" and burned them to cd for her to print herself at a photo place.
anyhow... it CAN be done! ha!
sheesh... i'm rambling. need to go check my sugar! gah. need to go get some groceries before the big snow, too. heh!
