Graduation was great!

It went really well. The kids were just great. I got pictures of his best friend and his teacher and his whole class.
It was really cool.
The principal was also retiring and her commencement speech was pretty cool even though she said it to a bunch of 5th graders.
Pay attention to what's going on in the world around you. Watch the news, learn your history because what is happening today is a reflection of what we did in our past.
When the kids were entering the cafeteria where it was going to be held, all the lower classes stood in the hallways with flags and banners and cheered them on as they entered. It was uplifting.
At first, I was seated with a bunch of cheering moms. How that happened I don't know but all they talked about was getting their Brittney's and Ashley's into cheering in middle school. Did I miss sign up? Have they been fitted for uniforms yet? Mam, is your daughter going into cheering?
I don't have a daughter and if I did, she wouldn't be going into cheering and her name wouldn't be Brittney.
I then went and sat with his class and took pictures for Mrs. Compton and a few other kids who had disposable cameras.
The twins who were in that goofy pic the other day, they were in suits today. They looked like little lawyers. These lawyers to be exact.
There was a little girl in his class named Bianca who I swear was a boy. Looks like a boy, dresses like a boy, has hair like a boy. Sebastian says no mom, that's Bianca. I told him to quit pulling my leg. So what does he do? He yells to her, "Hey Bianca, my mom thinks you're a boy!"
She laughed and said she just hates girly stuff and hears that all the time.
I still say it's a boy. Or maybe one of those girls that wants to be a boy like they talked about on Oprah a week ago.
They got their diplomas and sang a song and then it was time to leave.
I dropped Jo's camera off at her house because it is super expensive and I didn't want to hold onto it any longer than I needed to. I can't afford to replace it if it breaks. Eeek.
It said the memory card was full so I only got 10 pictures. Darn it.
Jo will know more when she gets home from work and then she can upload them and burn them for me. It may take day or 2 to get them from her and then I will post them.
We slowly walked home and Sebastian almost cried because this was it, it was over and he is going to miss his school so much.
Anyway, my bones hurt and I'm hungry.
I'll answer emails and stuff later on.
Later days.
