Can I go back to PreLoad

Parent make sacrifices that are often never known, especially when it comes to single parents.

When my son was young, I would either miss or show up in my browns to his activities. It crushes your spirit when something starts at 7:00 and you are still out humping packages. It made the times I could make it to a school activity more precious. Now he is in marching band and the vast majority of games are on Saturday. Won't miss any of them.

My kids were well aware of my work schedule and appreciated those games and events that I could make it to.

It isn't that big of a deal if a parent misses an occasional event. It's a character builder. One event parents should definitely miss, unless you are the coach, is practice.

Make hay while the sun is still shinin', man.

My father worked two blue collar jobs at times to support us. He did everything he could to get us out of the public school system and into a private school because the schools were so horrible. I can't remember seeing my dad for a good 10 years of my life EXCEPT when he was watching my basketball games from the concession stand that he volunteered to run for discounts in tuition for me and my siblings.

I never really appreciated it till now.

Now, I am the last person he calls for help with anything (mowing, building, moving) because he knows my time with my family is limited, but I am always the first to show up out of gratitude.

Point is. You're kids are not gonna miss you at their games. They are gonna miss the opportunities you can provide with a good job.


Oh, and make the weekend count. Hire someone to mow the lawn and such. You can afford it.

NE supplement allows it.

Check your supplement. I've been wanting to go back to PT for a while, just waiting for the right time.

Good to know. I've never checked. I've just personally never seen it once someone has made book.
