Plus, they get so excited over parties that he was probably just anxious. <BR/><BR/>You are BEYOND good!ganellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519303711680945864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32614013.post-69067969907888791452008-11-02T17:59:00.000-07:002008-11-02T17:59:00.000-07:00Don't beat yourself up.

I had to struggle with the same feelings when I went back to work full time, but I'm telling you, I'm very grateful for my youngest kid who makes sure I don't miss signing important papers, getting money to the right place at the right time, etc. Those are traits that will serve our kids well when they grow up.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32614013.post-38300964745184476032008-11-02T09:41:00.000-07:002008-11-02T09:41:00.000-07:00I think it is terrific that he followed through an...I think it is terrific that he followed through and the only reflection it has on your parenting is that you are doing a great job at teaching him to be attentive. We mom's are harder on ourselves than anyone else is, especially when we feel we are "torn" between family and school or work. <BR/><BR/>By the way if my kids had even bothered to read or even give me the letter, I would faint.OHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856294075428012923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32614013.post-45911576633768139972008-11-02T07:54:00.000-07:002008-11-02T07:54:00.000-07:00and that's why i love you martha...i know you were...and that's why i love you martha...<BR/>i know you weren't trying to make me feel bad about the comment, and that you were giving me an example of his abilities i was just doing my overthinking thing and insecurity about about my mothering etc....thanks for your comment!tzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586960868908412491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32614013.post-47531803226372942292008-11-02T07:31:00.000-07:002008-11-02T07:31:00.000-07:00Don't doubt yourself...your son was truly being th...Don't doubt yourself...your son was truly being the independent and responsible third grader that is so rare. Really, he wasn't doing it because he figured mom didn't...the way I saw it, he read the note and processed it all as his assignment. Just like homework, returning library books and what not. This is a GOOD thing...really it is...I didn't mention it to make you feel sad and question your choices...I mentioned it because it is rare that I see such independence and knew you'd be proud! <BR/><BR/>Now, go hit the books..<BR/><BR/>Another thing I was thinking about...back in the day, we had Pharm1 and Pharm2...spread out over two sememsters and during our sophomore year when we weren't knee deep in clinical and med/surg theory. These ADN programs are Harder...just because you've got to cram 4 yrs of hard stuff into 2! You are doing awesome...really...just hang in there...the end is near and it will all be worth it.<BR/><BR/>And this my friend, is one long arsed comment...so sorry...<BR/>MarthaMarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504252339539190830noreply@blogger.com
