    Okay I am going nuts. It is almost the end of the day here, and tomorrow is the last day of the month. I always though people heard before the end of the month. I am getting so anxious. We could really use the help and advocacy...dd scored well over the cutoff on IQ and Achievement. Sigh

    I am just guessing no one has heard yet or someone would have posted here. So I guess it must be tomorrow.....or Monday, there's always the possibility that it slips a day.

    DD8 is in. Having had her application get lost last month (April), I couldn't bear to watch this too closely over the past month but now the waiting is over. Phew!

    Just tried and no one answered. Gaah, this has totally given me a migraine. I won't be able to sleep tonight, that is sure.

    Seems like only one person heard so far, at least visiting these boards. (Congrats btw!). Do folks really think it is time to contact them? I did get an email much earlier in the process confirming that our application was complete. Hate to call them prematurely.....

    I didn't get a hold of them and didn't leave a message. I feel better know you haven't heard either, although I hate it for you. But knowing I'm not alone helps. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

    You can tell I'm distracted though, I was trying to get a ham bone out of my soup and splashed scalding hot broth all over my face and chest. Immediately put cold water on it and called my doc who lives a few houses away. She came up and checked me out- 1st degree burns but gave me the awesome cream EMS crew use and said I will be fine in a few days with no scars. Gaah. I am a mess.
