Life on Planet Caddick

Hard to believe that this looker is starting high school in August. Yep, no longer my little baby boy - now he's all growing up and stuff. Any ideas on how to stop that? Anyone? Well, if you think of something let me know! Now, when he started talking about getting a high school experience I freaked. Then I thought, well, ok. Let's learn about the school he would go to. During the weeks of my sleuthing I learned 1. His high school is the worst in the district for passing those tests I don't agree with. 2.

Jill, over at Strawberry Freckles is hosting a high school memory link up.  The link is for a song that reminds you of high school. Her song was popular waaay after I graduated - but that goes to show - bloggers are not bound by age groups, just the love of the same things.  That's why blogging rocks.  I love her song choice! Anyway, I had to post the song that reminded me most of high school.  Believe me, there were a plethora to choose from - I graduated in '85 - we had some fantastic one hit wonders during the '80's!  We also had Duran Duran, Blondie, and the Culture Club.  *ahh, memories* I didn't choose any of those people though.  Picked this one ~ If you've never enjoyed this song - please do so now! Linkity link link up your fav high school song over at Jills ! Until next time ~ Kris
