<p>thumper1: I was thinking the same thing...we are making Fruit Loop bracelets in my Kindergarten class. My own kids tease me about hanging out on CC! But I can't tell you what a blessing it is to read about parents just like me and the struggles with their college bound kids. I just hope my S gets in ED so I can relax and just worry about how to finance his dream school! Until then I am trying to take deep breaths whenever I see him just surfing the web and not writing his backup essays!</p>
