8th Grade Memories
I just dropped off Mia at her Middle School for "Spring Fling." The school has been wonderful, and both her teacher and her para are there to escort her through the events which include: salon, tie dye station, games, music, swimming and more. Mia will stay until after my bedtime - 9pm. The night goes into a dance after the ice cream social, but I figure Mia can stand in a line against the wall anytime she wants, why do it at school?
I got to think of my graduation from 8th grade in 1977. We had a fancy dance and I swayed at arm's length from Steven Spadoni to the ubiquitous 70s prom song below. I didn't even "like" Steven Spadoni. I don't think I had a crush on anyone in 8th grade. Maybe Mike Kerrigan a bit. Now they're 47 year old men. Man, oh man...

Very piognant, Kim. I hope she has a great time! And thank you for sending me on a flash back... I could feel the real angst that I felt back then, at my own 8th grade dance, wanting so so much to dance to Stairway to Heaven...
Your girls are so beautiful, all three. I'm so glad she has good support at her school. Caring is 90 percent of the battle.
My 13-year old son is learning to play Stairway to Heaven on the guitar. On his wall the other day, I saw he had written on a piece of paper and posted:
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change to road your on
I love those lyrics!
I'm just impressed with three kids on the spectrum that you can remember eight grade. I only have two, and I am struggling to recall Saturday... Hope all went well!
