I'll cut it off before I pull it out

OK. Here's a sign that life is roughly normal in my house. For the third year running, both my children have a single F amongst a field of A's on their early progress reports. Sheesh. I had really hoped that we were past this annual scare of the parent(s). Both kids are already in grade recovery mode. The boy is already back to an A- in the class, and the girl knows the jig is up and the hammer is coming down, so to speak. She has her plan for getting back to a good grade. One or two assignments at this point in the year mean SO MUCH to a grade. What a good thing there are still something like 160 days of school left to get things right. I'll cut my hair all off again before I let this drive me to pulling it out. I know for a fact that I look better bald than I do clumped. :-)
