College



Ohhh gee if my mind is going to blow it's going to happen any second. My job today is to go through the Scholarship Handbook and find as many as Spider Monkey can apply to. Wish me well on this adventure and we hope to see some approvals. Fingers are now crossed. By the way we had a great time visiting St. Rose college. It's going to be one of her top choices http://www.strosedu.com/.

Oh and yes, if any one needs some help looking for scholarships check out http://www.collegboard.com/.

Here we have Spider Monkey and I this was taken on our college road trip to Buffalo. I was just so happy to hear that She was not going six hours away that I had to plant her one. My baby is not leving so far wooowhoo.

Silent Killer

Adults hurt just as children hurt. There's something I would like to mention and that would be Bulimia. Does this frighten you because it does to me? A friend of mine seems to be wondering if this is her situation or if she's just going through a yucky period.


People with bulimia are often ashamed of their eating problems and attempt to conceal their symptoms. Binge/purge behavior is often quite secretive and that's my friends problem. Until today she opened up and there is a feeling of relief. While she was thinking she was alone there were others like her. She is not yet prepared to allow her family to into her world. Into her secret for the feel of disappointment but we will work it through. We have found an outlet and soon life will be normal again.


She is the one who always has an answer and noticed by her family as the strong branch. We are going to nurture this limb and make it strong again. For she once stood tall and will once again. Remember this silent killer lurks on the older as well
