Where is the Spread Sheet on Catering Stations and smorgasbord menus of what you will be serving at all the important virtual meetings you will be holding to discuss fine points of all the other spread sheets? That is the spread sheet I want to see, and may be the one that will keep you away from the rubber-walled room.

You are over the top, to be sure, owlice. But you will not have to rifle through old files to find one single thing needed for the application. For all parents out there who wonder why a parent would want to have this stuff handy.... well, I direct you to the Wad Theory of filing that most of our sons subscribe to (if they subscribe to any theory of filing at all). Easier for Mom to find the old hs grades than for S to look through the wads of paper in the bottom of backpacks.

I must be eligible for Laid Back Parent status in comparison to you gals posting here. I didn't enter the Spread Sheet stage until applications were pending. Limited mine to the Date Due, Scores Sent, Essays Written, etc. etc. type. Slacker-mom here.
