Downsizing

I worked diligently on the high school transcript for Dorito this weekend. To start with, you must understand the source of paperwork. Over the years, I have saved every single piece of paper from homeschooling. Day by day, I shove it into a file folder with the child's name. At the end of May, I cram the four folders into a box that's labeled for that year. Since I have been homeschooling for 15 years, there could be 15 boxes in my attic. But once Meggar entered high school, I had to do a better job of sorting and storing my records. So I first collected the grade school years and compiled one box for each child that contained all their folders from K-8! That was a huge step of progress, made about four years ago, but I've done nothing since then. I was looking for some 8th grade math for Dorito (Algebra I is done a year early in our family) and couldn't find it where I suspected it to be. So I went up to the attic and stumbled upon one stray box from 2004. Plus I found another box full of artwork from all my children (lovely reminisces). These were duly sorted and I can move on to the 9th, 10th, and 11th grade papers..............
