Posted by at Jan 22, 2010 8:08 am

Sorry to post this late and sorry not to be original, but as I said yesterday, insanity here! My deadline, I have a sinus infection, my oldest has Bronchitis, and on and on and on! :gimmehug:

But GREAT news for my oldest who got into her first choice college a few days ago for a January (not September start!) More insanity and more things to consider. But we’ll take it! :cheer:

    Congrats to your daughter.

    My oldest daughter had some motivation issues her senior year of high school and almost didn’t graduate. My husband and I decided she wasn’t ready to go away to college until she grew up a bit and became more responsible. So we enrolled her in the local community college for a year. WHAT A MISTAKE THAT WAS. There is nothing worse than having an 18-year-old living in your house when she doesn’t want to be there, taking classes she hates because her awful parents, who know nothing, wouldn’t let her go away to the school she really wanted (regardless of the fact she didn’t have had the grades to get accepted). Oh….and she’s totally miserable all because of me!

    On the bright side, if all goes as planned, she’s leaving for Pittsburgh in October! And while part of me is sad, a bigger part of me is ready to start packing!

    A January start is a good thing in many ways- it gives the poor kid a chance to relax before the craziness starts. Mine took that first semester off and was all the better for it. Many of her friends did and had better luck than those starting in September. They were more prepared for it.
