rambling update
I got another job interview! This is for the job I told everyone was a bit high-faluting for me - colour me surprised :D
The interview is Friday however and a good 1400 kms away. I'm suffering from sports related lack of funds, so have to borrow money from my mother. I'd have thought at my age I'd be over that. So wish me luck! :)
Of course the LG's freaking about if I get the job. Despite copious conversations before I applied he now wonders if he can leave his friends, thinks he's too dumb to go to school down south and is in general being obstructive...
Speaking of the LG - we spent the long weekend at a football (rugby league for those who aren't Queenslanders:)) carnival. The team that won and had the most kids selected for the North Qld team were enormous! The age group is under 13, which means in the LG's team most of the kids are still twelve. He's the tallest at 172cm (5ft 7in) and the heavyest boy is about 70 kgs (154lbs)...they were dwarfed! A couple of the kids in the opposing team had moustaches! I think it freaked our kids out :D Still our guys did well. They won two and lost two and learnt some valuable lessons. The LG scored a try and copped an elbow to the eye which has resulted in a spectacular black eye. A good time was had by all :D

Also, congrats to LG! I used to play rugby union as a kid, and a black eye would definitely have been a badge of honour for me if I'd ever got one. My brother got his two front teeth knocked out playing league, but I was less of a tomboy by then, and was very not-jealous ;-)

Don't worry too much about LG being obstructive. It's better that he's expressing all his worries than keeping them bottled up inside. ;)
Sounds like fun was had by all at the football/rugby carnival. :) And I bet he's loving showing off that black eye. Congrats to him and his teammates for holding their own against the other teams!

Good luck with the interview. He'll be fine once he's there. It's fear of not knowing eh?

*crosses fingers*
btw: You're the coolest mum ever, being so supportive about your son's sports activities.

He might grumble and complain, but it'll be better to move now than later.
