kiso1 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Ever feel bad to those around you for having so many good things happen to you at the same time? That's a bit how I'm feeling about right now. First the acceptance into the business school at DS's university, and now a grant which came through. And it's more than enough to completely pay for the COA at his university. I'm almost really ashamed to be this happy. :huh: :hurray: :sad: :party: :001_rolleyes: 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G5052 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Things like this keep me going and balance out the other cr*p in my life. Recently my younger one got a gold medal on the National Latin Exam Prose test, and my older one was inducted into Phi Theta Kappa. Those events have put a bounce in my step for weeks now. Enjoy! :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodGrief Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Don't feel apologetic! I think we all experience times of great blessing, and we should celebrate those times! We all get hit with the bad times too. These "up" times get us through! Congratulations to your son! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopskipjump Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 A huge congrats!!!! :party: ...and, Nope. I never feel apologetic for the good things! DD (and I) have worked - HARD - the past many years. Her achievements weren't just "lucky happenings" and didn't just land in her lap. She worked and researched and made a lot of hard choices over the years to make her present/future possible. Zero apologies. If ppl we know don't want to celebrate dds worked-for achievements, they can bite me. :laugh: (with that said, it's certainly not as if we announced every single major scholarship or award she has received... but I did share quite a few, with her permission.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsTheDay Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 No, I don't feel guilty. I also am not one to share too much good news, and my kids have often commented that I don't share enough. Things may be going really, really well in one area of our family life, but we struggle in others. I don't talk much about either though, so it's balanced. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
