Light at the end of the tunnel?

[Karin]

I have been mostly not here for some time due to taxes and a zillion financial aid forms and scholarship help for my son, etc. But, taxes filed, request for larger scholarship accepted and raised somewhat, a private scholarship won, and (trumpet fanfare here) we finally know where my son is going to school next year! There is still a lot going on, but know that I have missed being here more often and that I do see what you are all reading. I just posted a review from a book I finished 11 days ago plus one more and am not going to catch up on all the reviews today.

fwiw, my son will have a crazy commute, but for him it's worth it.

We have missed you, Karin! Welcome Back... Tell me privately where your son is headed? I can probably guess! So happy for you all.

Great news Karin! Glad to have you back!

[JoLene]

All good news (well, maybe not the taxes part). Looking forward to "seeing" you around more often.

Glad to see you emerging from the tunnel. :)

What great news, Karin! Both for your son and that we'll be seeing more of you around here.

[Karin]

Thanks, all!

I hope you can get some much needed rest after such a whirlwind.

Thanks--I get it when I can. Things are a bit less crazy, but still very busy until he graduates from high school and has his wisdom teeth pulled. Then I hope things will go to a dull roar for the summer. We have two daughters at home as well, but a bit older.

It’s nice to hear from you Karin.

I always say that child rearing is not for the faint of heart. When things are going well, it is stressful, and when they are not, it is extremely stressful.

Glad you have the good kind of stress right now! Congrats on your son's achievements. Dont leave us for toooo long.

Thanks, and that comment I put in bold is so true!

I am going to steal that line about kids and stress.

I guess I spoke too soon--I haven't made it here in over a week, I don't think, and didn't post my Strong Women review in time as I'm 4 or 5 books behind in my review writing.
