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. 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.
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!
