We saw Lilith's post about her baby getting accepted to his #1 college pick. (Go Lil!!! You're a smart cookie with smart cookie crumbles. Good job, proud mommy!)

Likewise for me. My oldest son has been in school for three years and has one year to go. After grants & scholarships, his bill is around $23,000 a year.

My daughter has been accepted into one school so far and it would likely cost us $26,000 per year.

Yep...that means next year I will have to write checks for $49,000.

And my youngest is a sophomore in high school, so there's no end in sight.


/me is crapping his pants over this.


So what about you? Figuratively, please. No need for scat reports.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Can balloons be involved? lol

Yes indeed! My two are two years apart – 2005/2006 were brown years!

Well, my daughter has her surgery Wednesday for the (hopefully last) of the fallout from her accident back in March (she was the pedestrian in a pedestrian struck by auto accident).

And the financial fallout from this still has me figuratively shitting my pants.
