I'm sure you can wait that long. :lol:

Not that you were comparing the two.
But the comparison fits.
As far as college money, don't worry too much.
You do well, so you're bound to be offered something in the way of scholarships.
And there are a lot of grants out there.
Plus student financial aid.
When the time comes, you'll check it all out and find a way to make it work.
Lauren - she went to Temple - is paying back a small student loan now.
Stacey went to Community to get her requirements out of the way, cheaply. She's working full time and going to school at night to finish up. Her degree will be from Temple, with very little student loan debt.
My point is, if you want it, you can get a college education.
You just have to find a way to make it work.
Just don't worry.

Hm... maybe I should put this another way.
I know my parents would do whatever needed for me not just to go to college, but to go to the college of my choice, the... thing that has me rather annoyed, is that I have and will have to work for it. As for them, they get it for... what? I understand the idea of charity, but... it just seems life should favor those who work for what they gain.
Maybe it's jealousy, but that's how I feel right now.

...and it will pass, I promise. We all have those feelings. Would you REALLY like to be in their shoes - knowing what you know about them? Money is so transient, and temporary - and doesn't really solve anything in the long run.
I read an old saying somewhere that has gotten me through MANY a bad time in my life, and it went something like this: If all the people of the world each piled their troubles on a table in front of them, and we could choose any pile at all, we would still choose our own.

Wish I could remember exactly where I heard it! It makes sense, though, doesn't it?

"Done" is a relative term around here, unfortunately...DH has decided that there's just one more pipe he'd like to replace in the basement before he declares this project officially over.
I foresee trouble...
Happy birthday a few hours early, Freddy! :kiss:

This is very true, people look at me and everything that MJ and I have to deal with and are amazed at how I do it.... but to me it is just my normal life... I have never known what it is like to have a *typical* child, so I have no comparison...while there are other things I look at and am sure I could *never* deal with that...
