<p>OMG that light bulb was funny, sounded just like me. I just sent it to some friends.</p>
<p>jym~</p>
<p>Our neighbor gives out the full size candy bars too!!! It’s always the first place we hit, and then dh and I rob those out of the kids’ bags while they’re lookin’ over the other stuff and setting up elaborate trades! ;)</p>
<p>The kidlets are out with dh, who just pulled in from Vermont (Soozie, if you’re reading this, he said the weather was NUTS there!!!), so quick, pour me something STRONG while I’m on my own!</p>
<p>My 13-year-old son is a Cameron Crazie tonight, and he apparently felt like he would not do justice to the role if he wore a shirt, so he simply painted his face blue and white, his chest BLUE with a BIG WHITE “DUKE” on it and wore his big blue wig and his “cape” (really just a Duke bath towel). Wonder how long he’ll last in 39 degrees? :eek:</p>
<p>audio…<strong><em>ROFLMAO</em></strong></p>

<p>We ran out of candy at 9pm (more than 60 of those fullsize candy bars) and they were still coming! Hobby had brought back chocolate poker chips from a business trip to Vegas. that’s going to make some parent wonder when the kid dumps out his bag o’ candy!</p>
<p>Sorry if above was unclear- hubby ended up giving some poor kid (well, teenager- it was after 9pm) chocolate poker chips he brought back from Vegas as halloween candy as we ran out of our candybars. Oh well- better than a lump of coal.</p>
<p>Okay, I’m not sure if there is a special thread for this, but my eyes are twirling in their sockets (from proofreading that tiny print on the forms) and I make no apologies for posting here because I really really need a drink!</p>
<p>(If you have sensitive hearing cover your ears - shouting ahead)</p>
<p>ONE SUBMIT BUTTON HAS BEEN PRESSED!<br>
With 27 minutes to spare (on that subject, is the online deadline midnight my time or their time? We assumed their time and submitted it at 10:33 our time. He’ll be so disappointed if he wasted an entire hour he could have been procrastinating and staring at the computer screen)
There’s another one due tomorrow, then he’s through for a few days. </p>
<p>Happy Halloween everyone.</p>
<p>I’m with you. One submit button clicked, moments ago. Deep sigh. I’ll have a virgin Mary with plenty of horseradish and a celery stalk and please ignore the flask of bourbon in the brown paper bag.</p>
<p>One admission package + portfolio shipped FedEx 48 hours ago. Will it go through the dateline and customs in time? Fingers crossed.</p>
<p>Now for the the 18th birthday which comes with a round of pints at his local (pub). I might have a glass of bubbly.</p>
<p>never thought I’d see the day when such strong-willed ladies proclaimed and rejoiced over such a moment of submission. hope this hasn’t pushed any buttons.</p>
<p>Delivered on the day! Woo hoo! <em>cheers bleary eyed at 6 am wrapping bday presents bought on the Santa Monica 3rd Street Promenade during an LAX layover</em></p>
<p>(No worries, ror. A couple of avid wrestlers live at the small luxury hotel I run–it’s non-stop ‘submission’ talk anyway. 
)</p>
<p>rorosen, kudos!</p>

<p>That wasn’t shouting. This is shouting: ;)</p>
<p>ONE SUBMIT BUTTON HAS BEEN PRESSED HERE TOO!</p>
<p>Ooooh, moms and dads of '10, '09, '08 and earlier. Aren’t we feeling - aahhh - relaxed and - oooohh - calm? Who are these bleary-eyed, twitching parents among us??!!? Ah, yes, we are they and they are us. Just a different moment in time.</p>
<p>The Submit button. It’s a good thing. Unless rorosen is on the scene. </p>
<p>Rejoice, parents of '11. 
:D</p>
<p>Application deadlines. Remember them like they were only last year.</p>
<p>Time to bring back the marmots! Here’s hoping no required attachments get lost in the mail.</p>
<p>
Sigh… some of us are having “instant replay” a year or two later, given our '11s who are lurching towards their own deadlines this year… I keep trying to remember that it <em>does</em> end, and it usually <em>does</em> end well…</p>
<p>Talk to me about instant replay, mootmom :D. As I recall, mine was nanosecond-instant replay.</p>
<p>The obligation of all of the '10,'09,'08-ers is to keep the cocktails coming to those harrried '11s…</p>
<p>SBmom: I can do that! </p>
<p>With my last child only a freshman in HS, it’s such a good feeling to know I have several years before I have to rejoin the rat race. By then I probably will have forgotten everything and/or the rules will have changed, so I will surely be back on CC looking for advice. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, I’ll just put my feet up and have a cup of tea.</p>
<p>Mommusic,</p>
<p>I have an 8th grader, so you will need to stick around after your last one graduates just to provide moral support.</p>
<p>I have been doing this since 1992 - way before “the internets” and especially CC! I have a sophomore in HS so I’ll be at it again before long. Kind of makes me tired just thinking about it. I think when my last one graduates I’m going to take a long trip somewhere…and never come back - LOL.</p>
<p>My kids said that there were a lot of seniors absent from school today! And I thought I had given birth to the “King of All Procrastinators.”</p>
