Good morning all.
Rabbitt, I'm sorry about difficult child and her depression. Although I think some of it is typical, it is always magnified in a difficult child. I'm sure part of you is disappointed that she couldn't have felt the joy of succeeding. I agree with LDM, that the most take charge, upbeat easy child can have transition problems. My easy child shocked me with his unhappiness the first year. He struggled the whole year. He changed schools and city and is happy and doing well. What a difference. I hope your difficult child goes on to do great things. Nothing wrong with failing if she tried her best. She can reapply and get past it.
LDM, I know you are liking the cold weather. Enjoy. You are a Christmas lover and your plan sounds wonderful.
with-O glad you slept through the night. Your weather is scary cold but all are good natured about it.
I ended up driving to Pa. F i l fell and broke the other hip(3 months after breaking the rt. hip) He had surgery on Sunday but went into ICU on Monday. It rained the whole way through the mountains of WVa. There has been a great deal of creeks, streams and rivers overflowing their banks but yesterday I awoke to SNOW! I just got back from Florida. SNOW!
Anyhow, F I L is doing well and is starting to get out of bed. I will fly home on Friday and try to catch up. Christmas is fast approaching and I need to get moving.
We are all looking forward to this holiday season and now we have cold weather to make it feel more festive.
Have a good day.
