GRADUATING SENIOR

In between posting my entry for cheap tricks I have been planning Allison's ( my daughter in the green sweater) graduation party. How do they grow up so fast? It was just yesterday i was making making Allison her first photo album to have when she is all grown up. It is such an odd feeling, I am so sad she is growing up but also so very proud of her. She is truly an amazing kid who has faced many  obstacles in her 18 years. She was born with a chromosome trans location which has led to PDD...pervasive developmental disorder. Thank God for a fabulous special education program in our Frederick County public schools. She has succeeded. Next year she will be entering a program called Success which is a  in community-based setting. She will learn skills for independent living, increase academic skills , and will be exposed to the work world. But now I have been instructed to plan a "Really fun" party.
