Spicy Catch-up

I haven't had any time for even my normal too-rushed-late-night version of blogging this past week.  Things have been moving very quickly this school year and they seem to be picking up speed all the time.  With testing this week, and an evening doctor appointment for the Girl mid-week, an Ambassador meeting on Friday, as well as a Brownie backyard camp-out this weekend (and preparations to make for it), don't expect to hear too much from me this week either.  My writing resolutions for the once new year (along with so many others) are on hold.  Sometimes you just have to put one foot in front of the other and sleep whenever possible.  Another season will come.

The Girl got her SAT scores on Thursday and they were great.  Really great.  Maybe not as great as those of the handful of kids who are similarly motivated and also paid thousands of dollars for the classes that are taught by former College Board employees who have now managed to copyright the teaching of the actual test templates so that school teachers are not allowed to teach them to all the kids in order that they may only be revealed to our future corporate overlords and all - but so close to those money-inflated scores that no university in the nation would fail to consider her, especially with her grades and her many more important attributes taken into account.  Impressive Girl all around.

She still wants to stay in South Texas.

Hard times lately for lots of people we know.  Circling the wagons as much as possible to keep the family unit strong when the winds of too-much-going-on-in-too-many-ways are blowing hard.  

That kind of spring.  But we are okay.  Just busy and tired.  Still very blessed.  Very fortunate.
