all better

Jess is much better after a few days on antibiotics. Thank goodness. Whew! I had to get some sleep and so did she.

Today the kids start their last trimester of high school, ever! They will graduate in 12 weeks. I can't decide if I'm ready for this next phase of life or not. Guess I don't have a choice. We've been very busy applying for scholarships. I say WE because one of the kids has very little motivation to write essays. Tom and I have to keep after this individual CONSTANTLY and then I have to heavily edit any essay that get written. ugh... I'm doing it because they MUST get scholarship money. Elizabeth is doing great with her essays.. Wow can she write! (so now you know it's not Elizabeth who is the problem) All the scholarships apps should be behind us by mid April and then we wait. Wait for good news, I hope.

I don't think Jack and Elizabeth will be going to Heidelberg Univ. They got their fin/aid packages and although they both got nice scholarship money and pell grants and other grants, they both still need $6,500 for tuition and $1,500 for books. I don't think that will happen. They are both now thinking of Western and maybe Grand Valley State. Hope to get the fin/aid packages from those schools soon.
