As I write this, there are exactly 87 days, 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 50 seconds left in the school year, including weekends and breaks. I feel like we need to hit the overdrive button and get as much information as possible into our kids' heads before the end of the year, and 87 days just isn't enough time. There is always so much to learn and so much to cover. We are also at the point where we all want summer weather to be here but never really had a winter so we are kind of in a weird spot.

On the home front, I don't really have any good stories from this week. My daughter is passing her classes. (Some miracles do happen). She somehow still enjoys being in a sorority and posts on her social media about all of her activities. I have not seen her showing up on my doorstep in tears or had a strange middle of the night phone call from her either. I guess no news is good news but at the same time, I am always on the alert for when the next giant bill for something is going to come.

That is it for this week's episode. Stay tuned for next week, when the Principal chronicles continue.......
