I think that's a splendid idea!<br /><br />I'm having the same worries as you about the check/money (Heather's is different, but still the same in the end) and it is one thing I have been *relatively* successful on - I've come up with a saying whenever I think of it (in addition to the obvious losing all the money - will she pay her taxes? the school back for the classes she dropped?etc.)... the saying is...<br />***"Not my problem."***<br /><br />I actually *whisper* it to myself! Maybe that will help you too? <br />I loved your last paragraph - so encouraging! And am happy for you that your counselor is back!Heather's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323023399443964827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-6691776167851209762009-12-23T18:31:24.010-08:002009-12-23T18:31:24.010-08:00Good news about your counselor.
