Amazing what one can do when one puts her mind to it

I was amazed at how much Sandy got done on her "I will nots" pages. Mike was able to download some music onto the new Ipod she got for Christmas from a friend at church. She really, really wanted to listen to that Ipod, so she got the rest of her "assignments" done so she could listen to it in her room. She wasn't real happy when we told her that she was not going to take it with her to school or on her Orienteering meets (those are for her JROTC). But we told her flat out that it was this way nor nothing. She choose our way (big surprise). She has been very pleasant the past two days. It's too much to hope that this will remain. She is 15 after all, so basically she is a walking hormone. But she is a good kid.

Mike will be going to an officers retreat on Saturday and Sandy is hoping to go to a meet. Whether she goes depends on her grades. She was getting a failing grade in her Team Leadership class. She worked her tail off to bring her grade up but her teacher has yet to post her final grade. This is a quarter class and not a requirement for graduation so I don't know how much of a stickler her CO will be if it turns out she hasn't passed this class. I am hoping she can go so she can compete and I get the house to myself for the day! Yippee!!!!
