[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 111111, member: 84"] Well, 2007 was an interesting year for us. Nichole graduated high school, something I'd held my breath on since her freshman year. (although she never knew it) She has done well in stepping into the role as parent to Aubrey. (again exceeding my expectations) I can accept that she's not perfect at it when I know she tries so hard to do well by the baby. The Big Shocker was when Nichole anounced her intention to go to college. I didn't see it coming. Nichole has always struggled in school due to the dyslexia. She always said she'd never go to college, was too dumb for college, ect. We had a minor set back when she was put on acedemic probation for failing a course due to not completing the requirments. But she took the iniative and has taken steps to correct the situation, finish the course work, and have herself removed from probation. Again another shocker. Since the winter break started she's been working on getting daycare arranged for the baby. I'll be returning to school this quarter, too, which prevents me from watching her. Today she finalized the arrangements with the daycare, as well as filled out applications for child care aide. (pays for the daycare while she's in school) It's amazing to watch my once anxiety ridden child do such grown p independent things on her own. [img]:smile:[/img] Travis learned via natural consequences that up and quitting a job is a BAD idea. Took him forever to get another job, and he likes this one even less than the last one. lol He hates his job in maintenance, but has realized he has to find another job before leaving this one. As for me, I became a phlebotomist. I ended the year with a 3.666 average. I'm proud of the acomplishment, even if I can't find a job in it around here. lol Hopes for 2008..... Nichole completes enough of the paramedic courses to hopefully MOVE OUT. [img]:rofl:[/img] And gets her driver's license. Travis finds another job or gets a different one at kroger they pays better and he can try moving out and see how it goes. Can you tell I'm more than ready to be an empty nester??? [img]:rofl:[/img] For husband I hope to heaven he lands the job as lab manager, so he makes a living wage. (seems to be working hard towards it) For me, I hope to manage to past chemistry, ace the RN exam, and be in the RN program come the spring or fall quarter. Keeping my fingers crossed as chemistry has never been my forte. lol [/QUOTE]
