We're Hanging In there

TexasDaughter called about an hour ago -- she was a bit upset, I'm afraid. She got 5 invites back, which I tried to tell her was good. Of course, she's in a group where most of the girls got 7, 8 or 9 so she's feeling a little down 'cause she didn't receive that many. Most of those girls are legacies, however, and I reminded her of that fact. She shed a few tears, but then tried to look at the positive. She is determined to put a good face on it and go to the five parties and give them all a chance. The first house she goes back to is one of her favorites, and I think that's probably a good thing. She got a really good vibe from the girls at this house yesterday.

She's a little worried about sitting around outside during down times. Each of the parties will last about 25 minutes, I think. I told her to call me and we'd chat, if she starts to feel down. Was this good advice? I don't want her to sit around and get down on herself.

The five groups she goes back to, in no particular order, are:

Taylor, Chris, Fantasia, Tamyra and Paula.

Thanks for everyone's support. We both really appreciate it.

Just heard from TexasDaughter again. Her RhoGamma told her there was a mistake on her invites, and she is also to attend Katherine and Ruben. So she will attend seven parties tonight -- Fantasia, Katherine, Ruben, Chris, Paula, Taylor and Tamyra. She sounded a bit more upbeat this time.

7 invites on an evening where 9 is max is great! Just remind her to keep an open mind, to be herself, to have fun, and most importantly, to keep us updated . I hope she enjoys this next round!

Best of luck and Gig "em ! I'm pulling for my daughter's (Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 05) house! Sounds like she's doing great.

I liked it when I had down time-I met many other PNMs this way. 7 houses out of 9 is very good.
