| boutonniere |
My son K's prom went well, he had a great time. This is the orchid boutonniere he wore on his rented tuxedo. His date looked beautiful as well. She wore a matching wrist corsage. K said his date R ate all her banquet food up completely. He and his friends noticed laughingly. K said most of the other girls he knows hardly eat, sometimes just salad. Well, R sounds like a girl after my own heart, lol.
Now the worry is about upcoming exams. He has to pass them to graduate high school, and it's entirely possible that he will. But nothing is ever sure with K and his learning disability. These are stressful days. College fees have been paid because they were due, and it is possible to get a refund. We'll take one day at a time. I've been weeding to deal with stress, it's very therapeutic and good exercise. I know because I usually wake up all stiff the next morning after weeding!

I knew a psychiatrist who said the same thing: that it was therapeutic to weed her yard. Lol. Good luck to your son. Tests are always stressful. Pretty photo, Christine.
Weeding and working in the garden is always a good antidote to stress! Hope K comes through his exams well! Valerie
I wish K all the best on his upcoming exams!!
I actually found my last exams in high school to be the easiest ones ever. Mainly because if your grades were good enough you could skip them without taking a penalty.
Everything will work out the way it's supposed to.
Most of the schools here wrapped up before the end of May. (and start in mid-August). I'm wondering if you have longer years, or just differently-timed ones.
Isn't it amazing how weeding does that for us? That, or housework.
All the best to you and yours.
It's a difficult time in their lives, when you cannot interfere too much, but want to be a sounding board.
I'm so glad my kids are now 28, 30, 34. I can step back and let go.
Cheers from Cottage Country!
P.S. I haven't done much sketching.
Much to photograph.
Much to read.
My client passed over. I have two new ones, and I'm busy chatting with them. I'll have to keep sketching in mind!
Sounds like the prom was a great success. Fingers crossed for your sons exams, always going to be difficult times...but then we worry about them no matter what they are doing don't we :)
Awe, congratulations on the successful Prom and good luck with the exams - I'm sure it will be perfect :)
AND thank you for your SOC comment this morning. Just in case you too had trouble voting in the poll, please know that it has been taken care of :) Whew, xoxo
Thanks for your warm supportive comments everyone, my blog friends are the best!
Differently timed I think. The kids here will return to school in the first week of Sept. summer holidays start end of June.
Jenn I don't know about the housework part, lol.
that sounds amazing Adam, never heard of that.
Oh my! That is so pretty. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for K. I'm hoping all goes well, but even if it doesn't work out yet as he would like, life has a way of giving more opportunities and chances. He will get there because he has so much loving support.
