Even though my D gets out earlier than many people’s kids (Graduation May 29th), her college starts up August 20th…throw in an orientation trip, a freshman ‘camp’ and a couple of family trips (Nana’s not coming to us!), the summer vanishes quite quickly. Add in that jobs she’s qualified for, like lifeguard or swim assistant, are out due to shoulder surgery and I think we will get her incidentals this year. Her school has a program whereby she can rent her textbooks for $107 bucks. Next year, hopefully, she’ll find a summer job/internship that will help her decide whether the career she wants is really for her. But this year? She’s worked so hard.

ORMom – Thank God she wants to be an archaeologist. Excavating her room is an excellent place to start!
