Amber in SJ Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) We are waiting to hear from dd's first choice of university. So far everyone else she knows who has applied to this particular university has heard, accept or decline, but nothing for us. We have been told the wait for homeschoolers can be up to two weeks longer than PS applicants. When I am stressed I bake. In the five days since the university started posting acceptances I have made; 6 loaves of blueberry orange bread, 5 loaves banana bread, 6 loaves of strawberry walnut bread, 2 large loaves of cinnamon raisin bread, a giant pan of rosemary potato rolls, 4 loaves of regular zucchini bread, 4 loaves of chocolate zucchini bread, and 8 dozen chocolate chip cookies. This is on top of my 3 daily meals. My freezer is full. My neighbors are starting to hide like it is the height of zucchini season. I have even dropped off baked goods at the homes of people with whom I barely have a passing acquaintance. I need a 12 step program. My daughter is a wreck and I think we have all gained the freshman 15. Amber in SJ Edited February 18, 2012 by Amber in SJ spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinaPagnato Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Oh, I can totally understand. The worst is trying to be cool in front of the kid so my stress doesn't exacerbate theirs. I do a lot of fake smiling and repeating, "You've done your best, let's just wait for the results. It's in God's hands." Inside, I'm all "AAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Can't. Take. No. Mo'!!!"

OrganicAnn Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Start giving the baking away to family/friends. If the two weeks pass and you still haven't heard anything, it is okay (I believe) to call to check that they have everything and there is no technical glitch - like missing ACT scores or something.
