Good thing neither lives in Florida -- the Lightening Capital of the World.
Another update for everyone (like you care

):
DD got her acceptance letter over the weekend for the English and Social Studies Honors Program at the local public school.

We're still waiting to hear about the Science and Math Honors. Apparently they are two different departments, so they require two separate letters. Nothing like taxpayers dollars at work.

I'd be happy even if she didn't get into Honors Math and Science. It's going to be a HUGE emotional and social adjustment for her. Not sure 4 honors classes, plus a language is a great idea, but we'll see how it all pans out.
For anyone who said a little prayer or sent good wishes our way, thank you, thank you, thank you.
She's still not happy about not going to school with her friends, but she's coming to the realization that this is her reality, so she needs to suck it up and get used to the idea. Hey, sometimes life's tough -- gotta learn to roll with the punches. Better now than later.
