oh dear woman ... almost done a PhD and through the entire time not one moment of piece until I ended my affair, I KNOW HOW f-ing hard it is to earn a graduate degree, never mind raising kids and having to work on top of it! I have three kids too, and have had to pick up extra work here and there, all the while competing with colleagues who have no children, partners OR outside work besides there studies.

I also remember the less than stellar response from my xAP when it was time to celebrate my academic milestones (never mind that his were always celebrated like it was the fourth of July) ... the hurt, disappointment ... all the while my family waited on the sidelines for me to come home and celebrate.

BUT NOW ... LOOK AT YOU KAT! Look at what you've accomplished. I am SOO proud of you woman. I hope you're getting a frame for that letter.

You have inspired me to keep pushing forward no matter how far the finish line may seem!

With Love & Admiration,

TU.

Oh wow, TU. A PhD! I suspect your xAP was just feeling a bit vulnerable about his own intellectual abilities when he refused to celebrate your milestones. Bah, who needs their approval anyway.

((Katniss))

I didn't read this yesterday, and I'm sorry I skipped over it because it is SO HUGE and SO AWESOME.

See? This is the kind of determination we all need to succeed at anything we put our minds to...(You all know what I'm talking about)

You Rock, woman! Congratulations and then some.

(((Hugs)))

CONGRATULATIONS KAT! This is an awesome accomplishment and I'm soo very happy for you! Continuing your education is a feat in itself, but when you add a family and a full time job into the mix, oh my gosh, woman, you deserve a medal for this! Very very happy for you! Thank you for sharing this awesome endeavor and for the motivation as well :) You rock Kat! You really do!
