That makes me feel like I've done something right (their dad, too).
Even the bad news was fixable-the teachers gave me a list of whatever they were missing, and the online site to check their work for the future. So I feel that even after a rough time, we can be back on track.
Even better was H's art teacher's news. She's top of the class in art and has a natural gift for it. Her teacher will help her prepare for a scholarship-fully paid-when the time comes. I can't force her to go, but I want her to have all the options known.
Maybe it's reading MerryFairy's posts, but I feel like floating  . I feel cautiously optimistic, even with significant challenges ahead. I hope I can be up to it. |
That is so very sweet of you to say! I am sure you will do it
It was so nice to read about you want to make sure the kids have all of the information about their options. You ARE doing something right
Maybe it's me and my optimism even with the challenges but it's not impossible to get to where you want to be. Float on!
