I didn't get to finish my post! I was going to hit a smiley emoticon and I hit submit instead!
Yes, things are quieting down. Mr. Wonderful gave me a gift last night - he ripped up a $200 check I had written to him. Yee ha! He can be awfully nice when he's not trying to be a dick...
Anyway, we are driving out to NY to bring D21/22 home after graduation. She turned down a job with the place she interned last summer, and her dad is fairly disappointed since it was good money. But she doesn't want to work in the computer industry (and I don't blame her) and I've taken up her champion flag. Her degree will be in chemical engineering with a minor in biomed. She applied at CH2M, which is HQ'd here, hasn't heard back (they're hiring), but hoping she can knock on some doors when she gets home for spring break. She'll go anywhere.
So the funny thing is that her dad was her champion when she graduated from high school and the tables have turned. He's decided when he drives her back, his wallet is closed for business. I've already told her she can stay with me at no charge until she gets an offer that she wants. Sheesh. She's motivated, so I don't know why he's acting like his dad. Memo to me: remind him of that. It might make a difference. Anyway, we'll probably talk about that in great detail when she gets home in a few weeks.
And you know mi casa es su casa anytime you want to come out my way. We'd have a good, rocking girl time!
Hugs- Betsey
