1. Get a letter in the mail the high school sends in March, letting her know you are in danger of graduating.
2. Do not let her see that letter, or mention anything about the above situation.
3. Make her pay $250.00 for your cap, gown, and invitations.
4. Make her spend $40.00 on stamps, and $80.00 on photos for the invitations.
5. Make her find addresses and fill all of them out, and get them in the mail.
6. Continue to NOT tell her there is a chance you are not graduating at all.
7. Tell her on Monday, at 2 pm, that she has until 3 pm, that day, to pay $161.00 for your band camp bill, or you do not get to receive your diploma.
8. Again; continue to NOT tell her there is a chance you are not graduating at all.
9. Let your school counselor call her at work to tell her to get ahold of you and tell you to get to the school, or you are not graduating.
10. WHAT???
11. Tell your Mom you are doing your best, but you just do not think you can get it done in time.
12. Again; do not mention the letter sent to her in March that you opened and disposed of.
13. Let your Mom call the school counselor 2 hours later, and have the counselor tell Mommy that they sent a letter in March.
14. Let your Mom find out that you have one more assignment to do, that has to be turned in that day, but you have to work that night.

I wish I could truly express the amount, and severity, of emotions I was going through for a couple days. But honestly, I would not wish that on my worst enemy. And I have a few.

She passed her class, and she will be graduating with the rest of her class.

And I will be so happy to have the graduation done, the open house finished, and I can go on my merry way, worrying about the 2 girls I still have at home….

UGH
