[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 556948, member: 9175"] I so appreciate the support you've shown me ...especially about my having jumped to the (seemingly logical, but still..) conculsion that she'd failed the test. After the initial thrill of her having gotten the job, I started to beat myself up a bi about opening my big mouth about the test...assuming she'd failed ..etc. It's nice to come here and read that I'm not the only one, and to understand that so many past negative episodes do cause one to be a bit jumpy at times. The funny thing is, she really doesn't seem upset about my jumpiness. I guess that's the upside to a short attentnion span! She's just plain relieved. I took her out yesterday and bought her some work clothes. She needed khakis and a red shirt. She also needed shoes. She had this horrid, beat up pair of black hightops that she wore working for pizza hut. They couldn't have been comfortable and I know she'll be on her feet for long periods of time ...something she is not used to. Other than that,a llshe has are flip flops, a pair of cheap flats and a few pairs of heels. I bought her a good pair of new balance shoes an a packet of socks. Honestly, the girl acted like it was Christmas and she was eight years old. I felt good and it made me more than a little teary (carefuly concealed, of course) thinking back to the days when a mother daughter shopping trip was something we shared on a semi regular basis. I know she'll show up for work in clean, nice clothes and that her feet won't hurt. It's funny how those little things mean so much now. Dash [/QUOTE]
