Everwhere is walking distance if you have the time

[ClingingToHope]

Very hectic week so far. Some interaction with XW. She met us to file for the passports.

Last night, D13 was upset about how the school year has gone. The lack of a real boyfriend is weighing on her heavily. Words don't help.

I did get her to laugh. She was talking about how if the school district we live in cuts its fine arts program then XW is going to move into a new district.

How she'll afford that is another matter. I didn't say that. Instead, I said I'm not going to worry about it until it happens, although I would be worried if XW tried to move to BF's area. He lives 30 minutes away in a tiny, backwards, biker bar town. (I didn't say that part)

It'd be very difficult to see them every day like I do now.

At one point, D13 said "mom's boyfriend has a name you know."

I said, "I don't care." She laughed.

I'm not sure that was the proper thing to say, but it just came out.

Big meeting tomorrow with college president about master's degree. I'm very excited and nervous.
