It's that time of the year


And we're throwing a graduation into the mix this year

It's the time of the year commonly referred to among my set as "crazy-making." All of the end-of-school concerts / tests / projects pop up, plus you add in a college decision and all the various graduation activities, and things are just going to be nuts here at Chez Obscura for the next month and a half. This upcoming week is a good example.

Tuesday is #1-Son's cello lesson. Weds. is dress rehearsal for the bookends' last orchestra concert right after school, and the Senior Awards ceremony at 7 pm. How that's going to be much different from the Seniors' portion of the Academic Pep Assembly is beyond me, but we're going because we got the letter that said, "Be there, your kid's getting something." Then Thurs. I'm supposed to go up to the scrap-booking place at the mall to join the rest of the senior orchestra moms in making scrapbooks for the kids, but the mom in charge said that if I can't make it, she'll do it if I get her the photos. That's up in the air, because I have to pick up #1 after Gamers' Club if the weather's bad. Then Friday #1 and Hubs are making a flying run to Urbana (leaving very early) so they can tour the campus and Physics department, because both UIUC and RPI want decisions by May 1. I'll probably haul #2-Son to the Sculpture Park to do his art assignment that afternoon; if I don't then it'll have to wait until Saturday afternoon after the bookends and I get back from church orchestra practice and have lunch. They'll play both church services on Sunday, and I'll have what's left of Saturday and Sunday to help #2 put his slideshow together.

Oh yeah, and I probably ought to buy Daughter some birthday presents in there somewhere, since her birthday is the next week.
