Middle school and American History

Tonight, Mason has his open house at Stonewall. I cannot believe that is possible. Where has the last 11 years gone? I know I need to step back and allow his this freedom. I swear, this is the hardest part of parenting I've experienced. Teach them everything, and then stand back and let go a little and see if they "got it". I'm going to be a mess every.single.day. No fun, for me at least.

I'm so excited about the DNC tonight. I know, I'm a dork. But, anyone that really knows me will tell you that my favorite American to read about, learn about, and teach about is Martin Luther King, Jr. What an amazing man. And tonight, Barack Obama will accept the DNC's nomination on the 45th anniversary of the "I have a dream" speech. I think it's so cool that history is being made, and I will be a part of it. I'm so honored to be driving the nomination that I not only believe in with my heart and soul, but the one that will make American history, even if he loses in the long run.

Nothing else much going on. I am pretty much ready for Open House tonight, not so much ready for school on Tuesday. That's another story.

Susan, I specifically paused my tv and came to your blog tonight. So far it's the beginning of Obama, "thank you.." and I thought of you. I thought of you watching the whole intro. I knew how excited, and moved, you would be tonight. I'm looking forward to watching and can honestly say I was very moved by the video introduction. Enjoy the moment, you've been a proud supporter and deserve this moment.

As for the middle school, I've done it with 2 and it doesn't get easier. This is Taylor's last year of elementary and I DREAD her moving up. We can't slow it down, can we??
