Progress!
HouseHitter (YSS18) is now reading at a HIGH 4th grade level.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that he is HIGH all the time!

Get Out The Popcorn, Folks
Received a letter today on the HousesHitter's (YSS 18) summer school schedule
it is a total of 24 days through the months of July and August.
The letter explicitly says that they will not allow tardiness or absenteeism. They can tolerate No more than four days absence which, in my opinion, is extremely generous since they are supposedly making up for an entire school year. It is actually a conglomeration of three school districts... interesting.

HousesHitter (YSS18) Is Required to Go To Summer School
As usual, but particularly embarrassing as this is his senior year. Seems he crater failed everything so a letter came saying he either needs to go to summer school or repeat all courses next year in high school.
Doesn't seem like he did hardly any of the credit recovery and I doubt the Girhippo would let him quit at this late date in the game.
Prediction: Four to six more weeks of snacks and socialization (summer school) to so-called make up for the entire senior year that he did nothing/was truant then he will graduate.
Father's Day and greeting cards
looking through the greeting card section I noticed that Father's Day cards have more "from the pets" than ever before. Have never seen this in the Mother's Day cards... at least not yet. Could this be as a result of Dad's bio children being PASed?
I know quite a few SMs on this site just celebrate Father's Day "from the fur babies" if they have no ours kids and the skids are PASed out.
Also don't see any step dad cards probably because the BMs refer to the step dads as dads...

YSS(18) HAS To Be Different!
The HousesHitter took his LaCrosse team photo (why he is allowed to play sports with truancy and gutter grades is beyond me.)
He is the ONLY one wearing super dark shades and a poorly groomed ginger "goatee." The rest of the players are not wearing shades, you can clearly see their faces and are all clean shaven. Of course being clearly able to see the HousesHitter's face is probably not to his advantage as he is bone fugly and an incel.
It also doesn't help that he TOWERS above his team mates. Probably 6' 5" and approaching 300 lbs. Sticks out like a sore thumb!

You Can't Make This Stuff Up!
I am homebound because of shoulder surgery so I was doing a bit of social media snooping. Come to find out that the Girhippo is no longer working for the foster home as a foster parent counselor; she is now working for the local VA!
She and her electrical engineer husband, StepDaddyBigBucks, went on social media for advice on how to operate a solar light purchased at a local grocery store! Between the two geniuses, they could not figure it.
Turns out they had to remove the shipping/activation strip from the battery.

The Good MIL
I should preface this by saying I am a MIL twice over. Both to my son-in-law and daughter-in-law. I also know what it's like to have a pushy mother-in-law. My first husband's mother who was an alpha type personality and "wore the pants in the family" seemed to always have an opinion on everything.
I think she tried hard not to come over as pushy but it was just beyond her scope.
She did a few things behind my back that I did not appreciate as well.

And We Have a New WINNER (Loser)!!!
The HousesHitter (YSS18) has had no less than sixty-two, that's right 62, unexcused LATES/TARDIES and thirty-four, yep count 'em, 34 absent/truants this school year with three weeks left to go! He is usually 2 to 4 hours late EVERY DAY or missing entirely. Despite this, he is still allowed extra curriculars such as lacrosse.
Way to go, MOTY Girhippo!!!
And yet they will graduate him.

O/T My Butt Is Killing Me
From being foolish enough to let my front garden which is 30' X 30' go for a year while doing rennos on our first duplex. I weeded for 8 hours straight. I literally had to replant a blueberry and azalea bush to get the weeds out!
Today I added some more black plastic mulch. We live surrounded by dairy farms so the weeds are horrendous. That and the prolific non native invasive plants such as autumn olive. Arrgh!!

O/T It's Asparagus Time Again
I have a 20' by 4' asparagus patch with established asparagus (OMG the WEEDING!). Any way, any asparagus recipes out there? I prepare them the way Jacque Pepin does them (asparagus with foaming butter) but am open to new ideas. I have frozen them in the past after briefly blanching for soup and the like. And of course the old standby, hollandaise sauce...
