Animal shelters around me are full. Owner surrender appointments are booked through mid April here in Wake County, NC. Just awful all around.
My niece is going to be evaluated by a school psychologist. Kid is in 9th grade and really struggling. I have strong suspicions whatâs going. Hoping that my SIL gets some answersâŠwish her dunderhead of a husband hadnât been so stubborn and refused to see the light of day all these years while the issues the kid has been struggling with have been mounting. But glad that SIL is starting to advocate for her kid finally.
Vacation is definitely over
I canât believe some people put so much personal information in their posts. Some family members may be surprised (or notâŠ).

We claim to teach our kids to be resilient and calm in the face of adversity.
We preach your school/college wonât define who you are.
Then we Freak Out over college and prep school acceptances, portals, and notifications. As parents, we set a poor example at times.

So sad when it is so obvious car salesmen are lying through their teeth.
I know you are doing all the work, so I donât want to second guess you. But sheâs been sick a week, and now heâs sick too. The ER over the weekend is always a disaster; wouldnât it be at least consdering to take them BOTH to their doctornow just to keep him from freaking out on Saturday? How is an ambulance trip better? But yes. Their doctor is gonna order xrays and send them home.
OR they are frail elderly parents, he with severely compromised lungs, who ought to see a doctor every freakin time they are sick for a week. If only I were closer. Do the best you can.

M10 (decision day) is such a big event on the Prep forum. I canât believe I still get excited for these kids and families I donât know. Our M10 was 12 years ago, and I remember it like it was yesterday. Best of luck to all our CC kids who are anxiously awaiting results and probably wonât sleep tonight. Hugs to each of you. Iâll be there tomorrow watching as your results roll in and rooting for you.

And here I amâŠat it againâŠoverpacking.
Sigh.

Here we go again, GM.
Coworker of mine has a kid in same grade as mine - 11th grade. Theyâre doing the college search, too. Parent planned on taking kid over Memorial Day weekend to visit a college, thought that you could do college tours any time of day, even on holiday weekends after the academic year is done. Parent had no idea that you had to reserve a spot for a campus tour, thought that tour guides would be just sitting around waiting for somebody to show up whenever.
Oh boy, that family has a lot to learn pretty fast.

This is actually a post of gratitude, really it is, but after decades of barely scraping by, why does it have to be this tax year that we finally logged significant income? Lordy.

No, it is not your subordinate who is doing inadequate job. It is you the boss who needs to train and mentor your employees. After all, this very specialized skill set can only be acquired on the job! It is not being taught in college!

Sâs collegeâs weekly email today includes tuition increase info for next year (4.2%).
Maybe they thought release of this at start of schoolâs SB would be less noticed?!
Wish he had squeaked into the school two years earlier when the school would freeze tuition for oneâs 4 years of attendance.
Only in Seattle there can be âa rogue, unpermitted palm tree!â It is a beach, folks! Calm down.
