I'm not saying it's ALL school's fault. Sometimes we adopt toxic attitudes to our own detriment! And it probably took a couple months for these folks to settle in and get to the point where they could even start to answer, "What do I want to do with my life now?"Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-11874096354349093112011-08-25T07:43:33.207-05:002011-08-25T07:43:33.207-05:00Coercion is certainly not helping.

I'm remembering you retiring at something ridiculous like 44 and having to petition for an exemption so you could live in the Old Folks' Town you currently call home. :)Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-13414718363058003782011-08-24T21:28:04.195-05:002011-08-24T21:28:04.195-05:00Well..I put in my 17 years in school ..
