Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 You bring back such memories! I remember bringing to Perkins for real (not just for the 2 earlier evals). My husband had to leave, but I stayed for awhile. I didn't know how rough it was to leave until I was at the airport, and an idiot decided I had to be searched (this was pre-9/11). I said that would be fine, and he replied, " it will be unless I find something. " Later, i got a glance at myself in a mirror and realized like I looked as though I'd been hit in the belly a thousand times. The first time the kid had a cold, I was ready to take the red eye. But... adjusted and so have we. My horror now is graduation. How things change! Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
