Feeling like a hypocrite

November 14, 2014 By admin Leave a Comment

So after my long post about my son’s report card and not being swayed by it, I have finally opened it.Today when he got into the car after school he asked if I had looked, and I honestly replied that no I hadn’t.  I thought maybe he had looked at it, but he apparently wasn’t…
