[the daily life of a typical family with a high school senior]
BabyGirl: *chilling, enjoying her friends, and having the time of her life*
Single Ma: *stressed, worrying, and losing her hair*

So far, it appears that I’m taking it all in stride, but I can’t make any promises about future behavior or random outbursts. In the meantime, while BabyGirl is floating through life without a care in the world, we have several looming dates and events that are quickly approaching:
- IB Exams in 2 weeks
- Senior Exams begin the week of June 1st
- Prom 6/4: we’ve already purchased her prom dress…and at a GREAT price I might add. It’s a one shoulder, floor length gown in a peach shade and soft, flowy spring material – perfect for the Grecian prom theme. But we still need to find shoes and accessories.
- Senior Trip 6/14
- Senior Students, Faculty, and Parent Breakfast 6/15: this is when we’ll pick up her cap & gown and graduation tickets. Unfortunately, they only allow 6 tix per student.
- Awards Ceremony 6/16
- Baccalaureate Ceremony 6/17
- GRADUATION! 6/18: ordered graduation announcements, should arrive 5/11 – perfect timing. Ordered class ring and it arrived this weekend – be-YOU-tiful. We still need to shop for a graduation dress – considering this one.
- Graduation Party 6/18
Wow! The day that I’ve been longing and dreading for the past 18 years. In less than 2 months, senior year will soon come to an end. Before I know it, I’ll be delivering my one and only child – my BabyGirl – and all of her personal belongings to the hands of strangers in a far away place. A place where neither of us are intimately familiar with, but she’ll be expected to live part time for the next four years. *sigh* In fact, the on-campus housing application and $300 deposit are due on May 15th. *big sigh* It’s exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time. I’ll need to find a hobby to calm my nerves. Otherwise, you guys may be subjected to “woe is mommy” posts every other day between June and August. LOL!
