165 months old



Look who is almost out of junior high!  Britton has a few weeks left, and then she's on to high school.  I am in disbelief just writing that - it feels like a cruel joke that junior high just flew by.  She started junior high in virtual school, shut down and kept out by Covid, and now, three years later, she's ready to leave the quiet and safe hamlet of junior high for the big bad world of high school!  Her mother, however, is not ready, and sources say she most likely will never be ready for the big life changes of either child.  Ahhh, such is life!

Britton just got her report card - all As and 1 B, so she's doing a phenomenal job with her schoolwork.  She just had 4 STAAR tests in the past few weeks (the standardized state testing) and is not happy that her teachers have now switched focus to projects and finals, so quickly after STAAR.  


For a first, I asked Britton for her "likes" and "dislikes" this month, and here is what she said:

Likes: coffee, her friends

Dislikes: STAAR testing, the classmates that get on her nerves
