Happy Friday Everyone!! I'm just so happy & excited that I need to brag a bit today & give a shout-out to my son...he got accepted to all 3 colleges he applied to...Western Carolina, Belmont Abbey College & Ball State University in Muncie, IN...YEAH!!!!! BSU is his 1st choice, so I guess we'll be spending the next 4 yrs visiting IN. This is a kid who struggled in grammar school with a learning disability, never thought he'd want to go to college. With hard work, he's been on the honor roll in high school & is a completely different student. The best part about it is he proved to himself that he can do it. I'm just so proud of him!!!

As a mother, I share your fears, dreams and aspirations for your child. As I mother I share your joy in seeing those dreams fulfilled and challenges conquered. Congratulations for a job well done by you both!
my goal is to have this a peaceful forum hopefully by Spring. One that you dont mind your kid, grandma or boss seeing what you do. Those rude posts are consider flaming. I will start with verbal warnings.
If you see any rude posts please report them.
I got use to them since I became moderator
in 2007 I dont sometimes have a clear eye to see them
Please report them.
as you probably already know you will remain anonymous

Rosie, As a mother I know what a great feeling it is to know that you have raised a child who can set a goal and by dint of hard work and perseverance accomplish his goal.
You know as well a I do that this is not only a victory for him but for the whole family.
All your good wishes worked...interviewed at 11 am today. Got a call from the recruiter at 2 pm and...I GOT THE JOB!!!! Yay!!! Going in Monday to fill up paperwork for I-9 and background check. Unless, this req gets pulled out (negligible chance), I guess I can start as early as February 1st.
I have to say this was the fastest turnaround ever in my entire career from interview to offer. In this economy, it's short of a miracle!
Thank you Barb! I was going to wait till I actually started, but couldn't contain my excitement. Had to call hubby at work and then my Mom in CA to break the good news. I'm hoping I didn't jinx it (and get it pulled out), but if it does, it does. It was a great experience anyhow, and the high would last me a while.
