YEH Nick!

Nick got through the last of the school year (since living with me) without getting in trouble! Who is a bad parent? Not me!!! I doubt it will send any clear message but I feel I had something to do with that. My secret is simple. Listen, love, be there and participate in their world.

I have a job interview today I'm very excited about. I would really like this to be a good fit and that I hope to be just as excited after the interview. It would mean some changes for our little family. I don't think Wil wants to live next door to the school he isn't attending anymore. If anyone knows of a great apartment or house in NW near the MAX let me know. The job is in Hillsboro but I would live in NW since all of us like it. Closer to CSz, Portland State, and peeps I would hang with. I do miss NW. That would make their school Lincoln unless Nick gets into Benson. He is on the wait list.

As we go into summer I have not had much time to figure what the boys will be doing while I am at work. CSz camp would be fun for both but money is an issue. Wil would like a job but that leaves Nick on his own too much. I think he would enjoy helping at the dog shelter but he would need a ride there. Any ideas?
