Molly, good for both of you to take things forward, however bleak it seems at the time. 'Do Something' - (have I heard that somewhere) -seems particularly appropriate. We are all thinking of you.

This way to happiness...</p>

Wow, Molly...I don't know what to say. You and Steve seem to be handling thing very well. I think action may be the best medicine. Take care of yourselves and don't forget to breathe.

On an upbeat note, we've just come back from an awards evening at younger son's (aged 16) school. My goodness, we had performances from a wind band, a jazz band and a string ensemble, all excellent. Younger son got an achievement reward for his exam results, in particular for good grades in English, Maths, Science, Art and Technology. For once I can be proud!

What? Only English, Math, Science, Art and Technology?



Wow, you certainly do have a reason to be proud! It's always fun when they do well, isn't it?



I will take your son's proud achievements over what Peter has warned us we have to look forward to...



He told us he has joined a group of Marquette basketball fans called "The Kiltmen". It's exactly what it sounds like. Apparently, they attend MU basketball games wearing nothing but a kilt (well, I hope they're smart enough to wear something underneath, but they are college boys). They body paint letters on their bare chests so they spell out "WE R

MARQUETTE". (Good thing we're paying big $$ for this education or they'd probably spell "WE IS MARQUETTE")



They are hoping to be shown on television.

Won't Ditka and I be proud!

Well, I went to the school presentation night last night but Rosalind didn't win anything. It was 90 minutes of total tedium. I had the iPod to keep me occupied and it was vaguely funny when the school dance group performed to We Are The Champions, which was one of the songs I heard.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes">

Congrats to your son, Kate. And Molly - you should be very proud of the invaluable lessons Peter is learning - he are going to be just fine. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D">



Julie, I laughed at your post because I just got back home from my 10 year old niece's Christmas Chorus Program. Fortunately, it didn't last 90 minutes. But you could just see that she was so proud - she had a grin from ear to ear when she came out on stage. I think she believed me when I told her I felt like I was at an Eagles concert. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">



BTW Molly - It sounds like you and Ditka are bouncing back fine. I knew you would, and of course, I also knew that you would find a way to make this horrible situation as positive as you can. That's just the way you are. I know the families that you help get through the holidays will be eternally grateful.

Molly - LOL!!!! Guess you're getting your money's worth out of that tuition!



Luckily I have no boring kiddie programs to attend. The virtues of being unattached and far away from nephews and nieces!

Kate -- sounds like you are quite proud of your son as well you should be!



Molly -- think how good being a Kiltman be look on his resume. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D">



Nancy -- just wait until the nieces and nephews are old enough to participate in fund raisers. Who do you think the first person they call is (after Grandmom, of course)?

Be careful what you say
