<p>It has been a long week and I expect that I will be visiting my dad in the hospital this weekend. There has not been much progress, ergh!</p>
<p>Thoughts and Prayers to the entire Boston community!</p>
<p>ML Continuing to think of your family! I hope your DS asks for the guitar soon.</p>
<p>DB How cool is that that D could plan out her sophomore year already! Also glad to hear that Batman has his wag back. ;)</p>
<p>YDS Treasurer is good!</p>
<p>LAF Family-friendly is also good! I hope your D has a fun, yet safe, weekend!</p>
<p>Mommusic 2 jobs for your DILs is double-good!</p>
<p>Tx5 Roommate lottery is super good!</p>
<p>Mdem Good for you!</p>
<p>Kinderny I hope that all is good with your Ds summer plans settled soon!</p>
<p>12rmh18 Aw, how good of your S2 and his roommate to pick you up a gift and have it shipped from the Outer Banks. ;)</p>
<p>In college news, DW heard from D2 this week. D2 called late one night needing one of moms pep talks to help her through a tough week.</p>
<p>A little motivation for Showmom (I hope I remembered this correctly)
