But summers require "belt tightening" while my students are back in their respective countries for a month or two. <br /><br />You are such a wise mother! That lad is one very lucky young man--and if he doesn't already know that now, he will in a few short years!<br /><br />Blessings, dear Katie!Homestay Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760739583890418503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193865144146302051.post-53856814495589161612011-07-20T23:16:16.782-07:002011-07-20T23:16:16.782-07:00You gave him a second chance which, in itself, is ...You gave him a second chance which, in itself, is incentive to try harder... and he did.<br />So glad you're coming home for a while. Summer has been unseasonably cool here, but the hot weather has finally arrived. Can you smell the oaks and the manzanita? Can you see Main St. in Murphys.<br />You're comin' home girl...farmladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516462251842458511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193865144146302051.post-39583374517629529562011-07-20T17:41:40.889-07:002011-07-20T17:41:40.889-07:00@ Pam... you can just call me a marshmallow.

When you're dealing with a child with disabilities, it's a constant 2 steps forward, 3 steps back kind of thing... but you already know that, don't you? ;)<br />~~~<br />@Joolz... We're gonna have a BALL - I even have 2 new cameras, so I can share the joy with y'all! lol!<br />~~~<br />@Momlady... I think he's well and truly learned his lesson. He even turned down McDonald's last night because he said it was too pricey - and we have PRIORITIES! ;)<br />~~~<br />@gramma2many... Oh hun, you have no idea how much I wish the same! But no matter what, when I'm home for good, I'm coming to WA to see you and Sue! <3 (sending you a private email, but I have to wait until I'm off work)<br />~~~Tatersmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991481246363893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193865144146302051.post-56900123879895836652011-07-20T16:49:59.369-07:002011-07-20T16:49:59.369-07:00Wish I lived within a very short driving distance ...Wish I lived within a very short driving distance from your Cali address. Would be there in a heartbeat. I will wait patiently for the permanent transition.<br />Thank you for the encouragement. I think of you often when I am asking why. You are an inspiration in faith and strength. <br />Great example of motherly love and softness:) I am sure you did teach him lots though. Accountability and that in the end a mother will come through:)<br />Love you!!gramma2manyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478900677710841579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193865144146302051.post-82936024758353698322011-07-20T06:30:05.570-07:002011-07-20T06:30:05.570-07:00You may have helped him in the end, but you stuck ...You may have helped him in the end, but you stuck to your guns until then....good for you.
