I am happy to report that I have survived another week. On or about Tuesday I wondered....
I am beginning to really feel nervous about my son going off to College in the fall. I am NOT READY for this. I know he is. Of course he thinks he is ready for anything. I have my doubts. He seems very depressed right now and I have offered to take him to the doctor but he refuses to take any medication or talk to a therapist. He isnt angry about it he is just adamant that he doesnt need that. I think he does need some medication but I am leary to have him on that with the possibility of increased risk of suicide in children. BUT I hate seeing him so unhappy all the time. I am not giving up.... Im working on him.
I really am crossing my fingers that he gets into VA TECH. I dont think I can handle him going off to Tennessee. It is too far away. He also applied to VCU which is 90 minutes away so that is better than UT. BUT its his third choice not his 2nd after VATECH.
I also have no idea how the hell I am going to pay for it. We have some money in a college fund but it wont be enough for 4 years. More like 1 year without room and board. Maybe two.
I guess it will be Student Loans again. Thats how Dh has paid for his and we havent started paying back that 27,000. SIGH.
SO this brings me to my other little thorn. I definitely can not quit my job even though some of you know that it is really something I do not want to do anymore due to the boss. I have got to have the money coming in at least until Dh finishes the degree and gets promoted and we see how much of a raise he gets.
It finally has turned cold here. 44 today. I would rather have 75 like we had the other day.... or even 60 would do. I need an island life.
My Mom and brother both let me know that they plan to come and stay when Mitchell graduates in June so I have GOT to push myself to finish up some of my little started projects, such as the upstairs bathroom that has 50% of the wallpaper removed at this time. I can not seem to get in there and get it done. Time.

Big hugs with your son. i'll keep my fingers crossed he gets to stay close to you! I cannot believe you will have a son in college---you look way young!!!
Wallpaper?! Too bad I didn't live closer---I love wallpapering and painting!!!
Downy liquid - or any other liquid fabric softener - that's how you get wallpaper off quickly...soak it and scrape it off like butter.
