Kids all seem to be on track this semester, S18 seems happy at college (although I'd feel better about him if the poor guy could just get a date! He's a bit shy, and a bit nerdy and "different" - so far, all the girls he gets crushes on aren't interested. I know if he met a girl who could appreciate him, though, he'd make a great boyfriend.)
H has calmed down a bit from his most recent semi-manic state. We did end up buying a beachfront lot in Baja, but only after a lot of consideration, and this lot is 25% less than the others he was looking at, and a better investment overall, I think, so I can live with it. He's still having MLC feelings of wanting to chuck it all and run away to Mexico. Honestly, if i thought it would work, I am not stuck in the mud, I'm open-minded. But I know him, and a life of poverty would make him miserable, plus I think he'd get sick of it there in about 3 months. It's a fine place to spend part of the year when we do eventually retire, but I just don't see him happy there year-round. So I'm trying to keep him on track without being the "bad mom" squelching his dreams.
Meranwhile, I'm trying to get back into my workouts, lifted weights with D15 yesterday - she is finally motivated to exercise (in a good way, not ED) and hopefully we can keep each other motivated.
Had a funny exchange with H yesterday, actually. S18 had sent me a link to a very funny video of these math grad students singing an a cappella love song all in advanced mathematics terms (The Klein Four - see my post in Just For Fun). I though it was hilarious and played it several times. This was a few days ago.
Yesterday H said something about feeling threatened because I was so into these nerdy guys (and he's not nerdy). It was funny, because I thought the song was hilarious, but I wasn't lusting after these 25 year olds. Just a reminder, though, that my brilliant H (international leader in his field, I might add) still somehow feels insecure about not being smart enough for me (or at least, nerdy enough!).
