I am SO PROUD of her!!!

Okay, the week before I went on my trip with Mom (back in September), the Daughter(for reasons never really explained) suddenly decided she needed to apply for a job at two of our local fabric/Hobby shops.  Which she did.  While Mom and I were braving the wilds of Northern Michigan (Cherries and Bear-ies and Fudge, Oh MY!), I received a text message from Hubby to the effect that he'd taken her shopping for 'work slacks'  -- which led me to think that she'd landed one of those jobs --- um, no, just anticipating, but yeah, she really needed to upgrade from jogging pants....

Now fast forward to a week ago yesterday Thursday -- she was called in for an interview at the Fabric Store.... which went very well... so well, that the manager called back on Saturday and asked if she could start on Monday!  So Daughter promptly checked out the local bus routes, determined which lines and where she had to transfer, and how long it would most likely take; I bought her a bus pass, and  a pair of good padded -sole shoes and a couple of dress casual  blouses, and Monday she went in for what turned out to be a 5 and 1/2 hour shift.  Same on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Thursday and Friday she had the day off.  Yesterday I took a long lunch break and accompanied her to our Bank & Trust as moral support (and with $100 seed money) so she could set up her very own checking account!  

Sigh.  Welcome to the Wonderful World of Grown-ups, baby girl.....

And part of me goes -- 'It's about TIME!' 

Now, all we need to do is get her driving again....
