I can't believe Thomas is touring the high school today. In some ways, I've looked forward to this all year. I am so ready to be finished with middle school and everything that goes with it. I am so very ready for him to be at the high school where there are so many more options to help a kid find his/her niche, and, to be perfectly honest, where Andrew and I are just a little more able to keep tabs on him. He has struggled this year, and while I know we won't "fix" everything with high school, I do feel we will have a little more of a hold on things.
I had marked this day on my calendar at the beginning of the year. I wanted to make sure I didn't take a job elsewhere. If I was going to work today, I wanted it to be in this building. I had told him what classroom I was in, although I was sent to cover a different class during second period. His group never came by, although I did know several students that did. As I was walking back to my classroom between classes, I caught a glimpse of Thomas. I called his name and he began walking toward me. He was happy to see me, and I was so thrilled! They had come by my empty classroom and I obviously wasn't there. He told me he had already seen his dad, but I don't think he got to see Catherine. To be honest, she is going to be really disappointed if she doesn't get to see him. I know those two fight like cats and dogs most days, but in so many ways they are still so close. I am so looking forward to having all four of us here at the high school together next year!
