I miss my girl.

[catzmeow]

She's a very motivated girl, she wants to be in a medical field, but hasn't narrowed it down yet. My husband and I have advised her not to become a physician given the degree of costs and the instability in the medical profession at present, but she's thinking physician assistant, physical therapist, or occupational therapist.

Now the issue is going to be keeping my son motivated for the next 4 years.

Please forgive me if I'm a total bitch for the next month or so.

We dropped her off at college yesterday for her first year.

I miss the shit out of her.

Very sweet! Guess i can't flame you today....

 

[Sunni Man]

She looks like a sweetie Catz.

You obviously did a great job as her mother!!

Be proud, a co worker of mine has a son who is 16 who got kicked out of school for drinking on school property and he also got a DUI. He is being home schooled this year and he got caught stealing money out of his dads wallet. Some kids are a fucking nightmare.

(((((hugs))))

My oldest is doing his 2 year close to home, but next year is when he goes out of state.
It already brings me to tears. And good grief he has my temperament which means we 'battle' a lot. It's those moments when I think thank God he's leaving! But in reality, life will never be the same after he goes.

*tissues pls?

She has a bright smile and happy eyes, she'll be fine..


It's the woulda, shoulda couldas that hit me....


If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.

There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings. ~Hodding Carter, Jr.

[Mr. H.]

So how's it going, c?

 

[Mr. H.]

Don't know about you, but I'm cussing like a sailor around the house since the kid left.

And drinking more.

She needs curtains.

[Mr. H.]

Just wondering... why do you end your posts with two line returns and a period?

Been there...I am sorry - but it doesn't get any easier in subsequent years.

I sometimes wish I had been able to go away to college. Alas.. I had to do the full-time job, part-time student thing...

Go UNO Privateers!

Mine always come back... but I cut 'em slack... 20 & 23. Still young.

And yes - still very young.

So how's it going, c?

Update: Things are good. She pledged a sorority, has been appointed the junior philanthropy chair for the panhellenic council, and gets intiated in 3 weeks. Her grades are good so far (straight A's, she says), and she's having fun.

 

[catzmeow]

And yes, she does need curtains, but the dorm doesn't allow them to hang curtain rods.
