I got five resumes sent today - very good for me!

I spent about an hour or more helping older son write the essays for his application to Ohio State - due today if he wants merit-based financial aid (which he'll have to get if he's going to go there - its many thousands of dollars). I have very mixed feelings about him growing up. It's what our children do. We did it. But he's such an asset to our family. When you're old and fat and tired and have a four year-old, and energetic seventeen year-old brother is such a huge help! They wrestle and run and play...all the things I'm too sleepy and achy to do.
