Let the Party Commence

The family is getting into the birthday season.  February kicks it off with my sister-in-law's birthday and then boom....3 in April...2 in May....4 in June (including 3 anniversaries)....2 in July...1 in November and 1 in December.  Whew!

On Sunday we went out to eat to celebrate the brother in law's BD at his favorite steakhouse chain.  I have a new favorite there-- not beef but salmon. Oh my gosh....so good.

Another party is happening in public schools across Texas-- just don't ask the 4th, 5th, or 6th graders about this party!  Standardized testing = yuck for them.  On Friday we had a pep rally to kick off the STAAR test.  Believe it or not.  Years ago, when Career Girl was a little girl, she made herself sick worried about the test.  The school hyped it up.  They even had a pep rally.  We still have the pencil....somewhere.  A local pediatrician said she sees more cases of pediatric anxiety during state testing.  Such a sad cycle.

Hope you are all well, Grainiacs.  Especially you teaching grainiacs.  God bless you!
