Yup you read right ... this morning I visited the High School we are hoping Kelsey is going to go to in 2011 !!!! Talk about wishing your kids life away !!! He's only just started in Gr7 ...
But the demand for 'the correct' High School is sooooo high that you have to get your applications in as soon as they announce the date ... DONE - in fact my application was number 1 on the list ... YES I SOOOO WANT HIM TO GET INTO THIS SCHOOL ....
And this morning the school had an open morning where the kids from the local schools are spending the morning and the parents can 'visit' and have a guided tour of the school ... wow I was impressed !!! I knew it would be the right school for Kelsey ... Now we have to wait ... we, the parents have to attend an interview (sweaty palms ... stress levels go up etc. etc. ) your child attends an interview (more stress, more sweaty palms etc. etc.) and only THEN do you find out if your kid's been accepted !!!!!
Now you know what why my 'HURDLE' for 2010 is !!! Once we get our answer (and I'm hoping it will be a positive one - well I'm praying real hard for that) then I can relax a bit for the rest of 2010 !!! well on the High School side ... we'll still have to keep the pressure on to pass Gr 7 ... but this year my son is a changed boy ... he is definitely benefiting from being in a smaller class and he actually says he's loving school ... (where is Kelsey and what have you done with him ??? ) lol
After our cooler spell yesterday ... 'spikes' (a.k.a the sun) woke this morning again with a vengeance (lovely stuff) heater is back on again and the temps are due to rise to 29/30 today and getting hotter by the weekend ... Oh yes !!!
P.S. Just had to add this quote:
Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest
