I have not done a post in months talking about my weekend. I am finally posting about my weekend, and it really will not be that exciting.
Tonight it is ladies night, I am meeting a friend for a girls only, let's catch up meal
plus I get to cross off a restaurant that has been on my "must try" list
The rest of my weekend will be all about my kids.
Saturday, I am taking my 6 year old downtown for the Pumpkin Express
it's like the Polar Express but for Halloween
Then it is all about my oldest son. He is a sophomore in high school and it's homecoming weekend, and he is not old enough to drive and the hubs is out of town (wow the stars aligned on that one)
First I will be running all over town getting him ready
then we are hosting the pre dance dinner
then it's off to the dance
and then there is the after party.
He is a little bit of wisdom I have learned....Always host the pre dance events. As an adult I don't want to be involved in the after party shenanigans and be responsible for a pack of teenagers late night.
I will be picking him and his date up at the end of the night. He is too young to drive, to young to uber it home (and that would be weird with the whole date thing) so it will be me.
I feel like Morgan Freeman
and Sunday the weekend of my son continues as we go to a college fair. (eek) Here is what I am discovering....
Being a sophomore is NOT to early to start looking, actually it is time to get on the ball
You have to have so much more then grades on your side, you need sports, you need clubs, you need to volunteer, you need a job, you need lots and lots of extra curricular activities
Getting into a college is MUCH MUCH more difficult then when I went. Again, in addition to a high GPA you basically need to find a cure for cancer, plus wipe out world hunger.
oy vey!!
