Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

I would let her go where she wants, then let her figure out what B wants. It is hard, liltte one is still not exactly sure and in his second year, older one changed his major.

 

[macraven]

I did what Lynne did

My boys had our encouragement in what ever field they decided to pursue

One of them did not thrill me with his future career path but let him decide as it was his life choice

 

[Charade67]

We wouldn’t mind so much if she was choosing a major that she could actually have a career in. Theater just isn’t it. She will more than likely attend the University where dh works. She will get free tuition, but it isn’t unlimited. We want her to be aware of other career fields. Theater students must audition ( I think at the end of Freshman year) to stay in the program. We want her to start considering other options now rather than later.

I’ve spent my morning reading spoilers for walking dead

Tonight should be a decent show



Have a great Sunday homies!

 

[keishashadow]

Busy weekend thus far, today following suit. Mr got one whopping day off yesterday after working six afternoon shifts, Groundhog Day same shift today.

Can’t remember last day we didn’t have some sort of rain. we should have a few hours of dry skies today, hope to sneak in tossing a few steaks on the grill. At least one DS will be joining us. Always toss on an extra on JIK, leftover steak tends to disappear in a doggie bag quickly enough.

I know! Haven't had sandals on since we left Orlando Oct 6!! On Wednesday, I had to wait for my windshield to de-ice before I left for work! Will be back to reality when we get home Sunday night!

Reality is far over-rated. Not looking forward to that first day of dragging the ice scraper out of trunk.

Thanks for sharing the pic! In all the excitement I forgot to gather all for a 2nd one since jr was MIA.. Just as well, he prefers to not post it all out for some reason.

He's doing shockingly well. He's got lots of energy right now for online gaming, now that he's had plenty of sleep during and after his surgery.




With three diabetics in the house, we frequently go over the OOP max. We shouldn't have to pay anything for the wisdom teeth, either! Fingers crossed.
He's a tough kid with a high tolerance for pain, and the meds are working GREAT! He hasn't been using the ice much, and yes - his cheeks are very puffy. I'm thinking he'll hurt more tomorrow.

It's pumpkin time soon, so I'm going to bed now.
The kids will go eventually.
Maybe.

Wow that is a lot of medical stuff, hugs. One of my DS, diagnosed as an adult, asked me to pick up his test strips when he was ill a bit back. Yikes, I had no idea of the cost pre insurance/reimbursement

Charade, many kids don’t know what they want while still in high school

Once they start college, all take general classes the first year and learn they have different interests and maybe just opposite of what they wanted before doing general studies that first year

My boys all switched to a different field after their first semester in college

We did the college search and visited them the summer and fall they became seniors in high school

They had their college admission secured before end of October while in senior year at high school

But two of them changed to a different major after freshman year at college

And they graduated in time in 4 years

Many kids don’t know what they want until after halfway through freshman year

What she is interested in now might not be the same once she begins her general studies

I still don’t know what I want . Yep, mine were told 4 years and the bank is closed. Testing in to skip the 101 classes, they were able to take amp up their freshman load & take the core classes that were geared to expected major but still satisfied the overall requirements.

We wouldn’t mind so much if she was choosing a major that she could actually have a career in. Theater just isn’t it. She will more than likely attend the University where dh works.

We want her to start considering other options now rather than later.

It’s worrisome, surprised her school district doesn’t have mandatory college fair attendance in place. All the schools do it here. Job shadowing also is encouraged, along with multiple college visits. Maybe they roll differently elsewhere? IDK

My youngest DS was in a small honors college of 100 students, within the state university. Many in his class were theater majors from out of state, they had a strong, well-regarded program. All participating in honors had to agree to complete dual majors. Majority went with teaching degrees, specializing in the arts, or speciality business degrees. He recently had lunch with one of his friends who was home for a funeral. The only one from his class who is working in the field, as a stage manager in NYC. It’s always nice to have a fall back in place to pay the bills while you pursue your passion. Good luck!

Finally the boards are back up .....

Bummer when they have been going down last few days

 

[tink1957]

Hi everybody

At lunch now...just popping in to say hi and share a few pics of the latest member of our family...here's Jack.

 

[schumigirl]

Yep, I had typed out two hours worth of trip report...….then the board went off.....

You`d think they would give some sort of warning if they`re putting the boards off......it`s bad enough they go down for 90 minutes every day!!!! Don`t know of any other board anywhere that does that.



Vicki......jack is beautiful!!!! Oh my goodness how old is he...…..

 

[tink1957]

He's 9 months old. Our store does community service projects for local schools and other organizations. The last one was at a local animal shelter...I knew Trey would come back with a friend for Sasha since he was working on the project and he did.

 

[Lynne G]

Afternoon all. As beautiful, blue sky sunny day 21 years ago, the day that older one was born. Oh my gosh, I have a 21 year old. Not that old am I? LOL

Errand running and birthday dinner at place older one picks. Yum, and alcohol for him. Maybe a Big Azzz Martini. Whatever, all will enjoy the place he wants to go to.

Have a blessed Sunday, and love that dog Tink.

To Lynne’s son!


I bet you have fond memories of becoming a mom 21 years ago

Let me guess, would Jack have anything to do with HHN’s iconic maniac?

Isn’t it great when your adult kid’s do something so amazing?you done good

Lynne have fun celebrating your Ds’s big day & buying him that first (legal) drink.

[macraven]

Pattyw

Yep- both of us have busy days tomorrow

We slept in this morning and the clocks going back an hour helped!

Driving through Pittsburgh now!!

 

[macraven]

Hope you waved to the homies when you went through PA

 

[pattyw]

Yep! Did a long distance to Lynne and to Keisha who we drove right by!

Brrr - in Erie PA for a quick fuel up and snack. 47 degrees! We’re almost home!

 

[macraven]

Yay
You will be home soon
And be greeted by all your cats..

Good evening everyone. I made the mistake of taking a nap today, so now I am wide awake. I’m going to be useless in the morning.

Things are already starting to look up on the college front. Now that she has taken time to think about it, B has come up with some other areas of interest. Today she mentioned history, chemistry, and forensic science. That last one really surprised me. This coming weekend she will be attending a weekend program at dh’s university. She should be able to visit classes in all of those areas.

I still don’t know what I want . Yep, mine were told 4 years and the bank is closed. Testing in to skip the 101 classes, they were able to take amp up their freshman load & take the core classes that were geared to expected major but still satisfied the overall requirements.

I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. I never completed a degree. I really have no excuse for not going back to school. I just haven’t.
B took a dual enrollment math class last year and is in a dual enrollment English class this year. No AP classes though. She will be able to transfer in 12 credit hours.

It’s worrisome, surprised her school district doesn’t have mandatory college fair attendance in place. All the schools do it here. Job shadowing also is encouraged, along with multiple college visits. Maybe they roll differently elsewhere? IDK

Sadly nothing is mandatory. I have encouraged her to start going to the college visits and any career opportunities.

At lunch now...just popping in to say hi and share a few pics of the latest member of our family...here's Jack

Aww...he’s a cutie.

Afternoon all. As beautiful, blue sky sunny day 21 years ago, the day that older one was born. Oh my gosh, I have a 21 year old. Not that old am I? LOL

Happy birthday!

Hello from West Virginia!! The weather has been beautiful on our drive home!!

Hope you made it home safely and aren’t too tired in the morning.
