final drama assessment "revenge of the Amazons" result? excellence!
today is "clearance" day for Blaise, it is the day she will square away 13 years of school life and prepare for the great leap into adulthood, my baby will gather her schoolbooks, assignments, photography folios, drama reviews, short stories, history essays and a great deal of goodwill from teachers and peers alike, she will receive a written testimonial which will smooth her way into tertiary education and she will rehearse for her graduation on monday, which will be the family's turn to say goodbye to 17 years of having a child in the school system.
It's a big day for this Mummy.
I raised these girls alone with occasional interference from their father until Blaise was 9, then we built a new family with Flash and his girls, and they are living proof that a concerned and interested sole parent with a supportive extended family can raise well-balanced, successful and delightful children. Yay team!
