I'm just so happy (not weight related)

I've pretty much taught my kids on how important it is to get at least their bachelors after highschool.  I've worked on this since they were really little.  Now that one has graduated last year I've been waiting...patiently (not), for him to go back to school.  He almost did at the beginning of the year, just to find out he decided to take off the first semester.  That right there just about killed me.  Yes, I know he has to find his own path, but I'm still pushing as much as I can without stepping on his toes. :)  I keep on asking him if he's going this semester, which he never gives me an answer.  I've about had it in my head that he's not going again.  It's been literally killing me, but I've kept my cool about it letting it be his decision, just guiding him as much as I can.

Today he talked with an academic adviser and turned in his financial aid papers.  I'm so happy!!!!!  

Ughh that boys going to put a massive quantity of grey hair on top of my head.  I just pray it all goes accordingly so he can go.  He always waits  until the last minute for things!

That is GREAT! I keep hoping my 22 y/o son will get his bum in gear but he is very unsure of going to UAS unless he has a buddy to go with. He has come SO CLOSE several times- but the rent is high and he feels he's to old to stay in the dorms... it's really disappointing. So I know what you mean!  Glad yours is getting on it! Statistics are less and less cheerful with every year he puts it off. I'm just glad at this point that my ds has a town job. He has done really nothing all winter and fished in the summers (he's shared rent for two years with 3 buddies) and only this fall has dumped fishing! I can't be happier!!  He has a good job working refrigeration and furnace work (all the stores/banks etc.)  The guy has trained him and he's making $15 per hour :)  So until he gets his $#@& together... he at least has a good job :)   What more can us moms wish for :) CONGRATS MOM! Keep us posted!
