My thoughts are with your both
Sister and
kmakm. You are both doing some hard yards there. I remember turning 10 kmakm and thinking it was a big deal (the whole 2 digits thing) and was really disappointed when no one else thought it was a big deal and no specific reference was made to it. I think, as Sister said, if a big fuss is made (with as much energy as you can spare) then you've done the important thing.
Call in the parents of the other kids going to States Sister. They have to get their kid there right....easy for them to take yours too. Exciting for her to reach States.....!! Bet your bloody pissed you can't go!
Slept from 10-3. Heard the dull thud of the papers being delivered on the drive and knew it was about 3 without looking....brain turned on and well, that was the end of that. Sleepy couch time this afternoon will be calling. Going to try and walk the dog this morning after my daughter gets picked up from school. I have a naughty 6 month old lab...poor guy. Does not get any sort of consistent training or exercise. My feet are so sore from paclitaxel....but I will give it a go cos we both need to get out a bit.
