It's hard to cut the cord . But this is where she learns to put in place what you taught her. I will share something with you. I worked as a manager, and I hired a young lady I think she was 19 or 20. I actually got a phone call from her mother saying she has a problem, I thought I was hearing wrong. But nope, I explained to her that I can not discuss anything with her. And I let it go at that.Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. She's still in negotiations and doing really well with it - it's so hard to negotiate for yourself! They didn't mind having her question them. And she went in with specific numbers & information, showing them that she did her homework. It does look like it's going to work out a little better for her. She's probably going to take it because it's the start of her career path, so it's worth the risks involved.
There are times I wish she were a little girl again and I could take care of everything for her. But I can't.
It's been said that parenthood is the only relationship in which you actively prepare the other person to leave you. She's leaving, and it's bittersweet. But I am grateful, too, particularly with what's happened recently.

Very.

bellanotte10 said:Yeah. We're in AsMu. That's where we rebooked after AoA. Disney was like, how'd you even get that room? I didn't know we even had them....
TifffanyD said:What? Disney op said they didn't know about AoA???? Confused...
bellanotte10 said:The Disney rep said she was sold out of AoA rooms so we couldn't rebook there, and she didnt know how we got our deal there. It sounds like hotels.com was pulling a fast one, unless i misheard. So...yeah.

It’s past midnight here on 21 Dec 2012. I can report that there are no zombie sightings…although I haven’t looked in the mirror lately.
Seems like the internet is working as well given that you’re reading this advance notice about the Mayan apocolypse. I guess this means that Christmas is definitely on this year.
Time for this little vegemite to go to bed!

The guy at hotels.com did us a "favor" and waived the extra person charge. When we called to say wait it only says 2 people now, they're like oh. Those rooms don't fit 4 people. We can put you in a suite for 4 for 100 more a night.![]()

So I have a weird story for everyone. Teaser though. I have a feeling this day is only gonna get weirder. But it involves car accidents and Jehovah's witnesses
TifffanyD said:lol oh my!! Scary!
One time Matt and I were jogging on a sidewalk of a major road. There was that lawn between the sidewalk and the road so plenty of room. An old beater truck coming towards us jump the curb, hit a fire hydrant right in front of Matt knocking it off, kept going, and rolled back into the road. SO SCARY!!!!
It's terrifying! I was driving with my mom once rigt when I was learning to drive. An 18 wheeler took the off ramp too fast and fell over, the truck part coming straight towards my mom and I. It luckily didnt hit us but I was so scared I refused to drive on the highway til I turned 18 and moved to Vermont for school and the only way home was on highways.
