WHEW!! Back from court. DD's friend's driving school date was changed to Sept. So she gets to go with us. Again i have volunteered myself to be her surrogate mother and take her to the Children's Hospital in Sept for her driving school class. I feel sorry for her because as my DD describes it- her dad is mean and her mom just doesnt care so friend has to fend for herself. My big heart just cant let a kid do without and the thoughts that she would have to fend for herself is heart breaking to me.
Pixie: CONGRATULATIONS! to DD on her SAT scores. My DD was supposed to take the ACT the morning after her breaking news so we opted to not test at that time and to reschedule to test in October. Most of the colleges in our state use the ACT for admissions but some kids take ACT and SAT especially if they are looking for scholarship money. Right now for my DD number 1 is finish high school and this fall go to a junior college for a 2 year RN program. A 2 year RN and a 4 year RN make about the same money- maybe only .50 difference per hour- they cant do much because we take the same liscensure exam- the main difference is with a 4 year degree you are prepped for more research and management type positions so a solid 2 year degree would get her started. It will be a tough road for sure but I am determined to help her make something of her life and am a firm believer that she should be able to support herself if she needed to.
Punkin: Thanks for the advice- I knew you would know how to do it

My computer says it will read and write DVD's but not sure what kind of software it has so I think I will go to kinkos just to be safe.
