well...we've conquered almost three months of american public school. and we think we've done pretty well. i mean, big D made the honor roll last nine weeks and is tracking to repeat this nine-weeks. WHAT?! i have a kid that is old enough to make honor roll.
tonight is a bit traumatic because of the following:
1. i forgot that monday was cinco de mayo and had to throw together an impromptu potluck salad for work which (a) depleted my side supply for dinners this week, but (b) reminded me that i CAN COOK even though i'm a mother of a teenager. after tonight's supperthyme meal, we are plum out of anything to eat, which sends me into a panic that i MIGHT have to grocery shop in the middle of the week (CRISIS in my book, for sure).
2. dennis is studying for his gateway algebra I exam. yup, you read that right.
3. dennis has his very last soccer game tomorrow. it will be the city championships, and it looks like they might WIN!
4. both 2 and 3 add up to one grumpy kid. we have no idea why our precious one is a bit on the moody side, but we assume it's because (although he's not our biological son) he has a tendency to internalize things and get stressed out. and also, he equates the end of soccer season to the "end of life as he knows it." yikes.
i'm sure we'll make it through all the drama. we have so far, anyway.

i love you em.
and yes, i used a platter, a silver vera wang server AND a napkin from the reception.
funny how dennis has really become your kid. i mean, he didn't get the ability to internalize from just anyone...right? he got it from you. because that...is totally emily.
i love you. and i'm sending his gift tomorrow. i promise. i have a card and everything.

Love you!
you are like the cutest mom of a teenager ever!
