Hopefully this time for good!!

Hi all,

I know I've been gone for soooo long but, I can honestly say that I think that this has been the busiest year of my life. whew!!

I finally got my oldest accepted, funded, and moved into college. That was a process!

Anyway......

I'm finally ready to come back. yay!!

I even got a MacBook today for my birthday so.....

now I will really have no excuses for not posting.

I'll even be able to post while relaxing on the sofa.

Even my hubby said, "You better get back to your blog now!"

to funny, right?!

If you are still out there...

THANK YOU for being there,

and send me some links to Christmas swaps if you know of any,

I'm dying to get back to swapping!

Be back soon, Promise!!

Red Letter Day!!

SHE DID IT!!

O.k. as some of you may know, I've been M.I.A. (missing in action) lately. Well she's why. We've been going crazy here with her college ap, and essays and letters of recommendations, and sending scores, and transcripts, etc., etc., etc., well..... you get the idea.

She's really smart and researched the statistics on early application acceptance in comparison with regular application acceptance and decided "early application" was definitely the way to go. Well, she did it, we did it, we managed to get everything there, on time, with only a few hiccups along the way. Yeah.

Then the wait..................

it felt like forever.

I got sick to my stomach every time I had to get the mail, I mean who wants to be the one to tell their child that they can't go to the school of their dreams right?!!

So, today was the day we were supposed to know by.

I'm just sitting in the car waiting to pick up my two youngest from school and my screaming, hysterical, out of breath girl calls me up and says......

SHE GOT ACCEPTED!!!

(oh yeah, she got into the Tisch School of NYU)

(She's going to be a screenplay writer, How fun right?!!)

She had been checking her email all day at school and had just found out. I didn't believe her, I was in shock, I made her read me the email just to make sure she read it right. She had :-)

I am so proud of her.

(sad that she's going to leave too)
