Cancer Survivor, writing about Health and Fitness as you age

Designed by Freepik Our older son just started high school and it is a whole new world for us, including the language. I should mention that neither my husband nor myself went to high school in the U.S, so it really is a whole new world for us. Here are excerpts of some of the messages I've received: " All AISD high schools have the same bell schedule and 8 classes: 1,2,3,4 on A days and 2,4,6,8 on B days. A days are M/W and alternating F." "[ SchoolName ] wants to start and end earlier, so we have a 0 period both A and B days (0A and 0B) and we don't have 4th or 8th period." Some days are "late start" days, where the school doesn't start until, well, later and there is a different bus and location for pickup. The school schedule also changes on late start days. Maybe this is to keep the kids on their toes? One message goes on to say that, "The kids have this all figured out." Say whaaa???!! Fabulous if yo...

This end of school is a bit of a milestone: big son will be off to high school. Perhaps an apt post for Independence Day. Big son will be a bit more independent as will little son. I am grateful they are still good buddies despite the age difference and big teenage son still tolerates little son. I took this picture to remind me how well they get on, (even though they are not holding hands like they usually do),  and also because this may be the last time big son gets to walk little one into school. Ever. Sweet memories. Have an enjoyable 4th of July. Follow me on Twitter @AustinTrini and Instagram @AustinTrini . **This site uses cookies **
