# 47 Yeah, started from the first up until today, the fifth, there have been things going on involving my family... Thursday night, the first, we attended an exhibition at my son’s college. The Art Department organized a public exhibition showcasing the works of the students and my son’s work was among them. It was a very enjoyable night at the show... Then Friday morning my other son had a job interview at one of the major banks. It was exciting to see him all dressed up for an interview with a prospective employer. No, it’s not his first job or anything, but it’s a first for a Management Trainee position that he’s hoping to get as a first full-time employment with hopefully a good career in the future... Saturday afternoon I dropped my husband at the airport for his business trip. Okay, it’s not that exciting, but I figured it’s still something that happened kind of out of my usual laid-back routine... Sunday night yet another son attended an award ceremony within the Animation industry. He directed an animation film and it was nominated, so he and his friends involved in the making of the movie were invited for the ceremony. The film didn’t win, but it was quite exciting to be nominated as his group is still students while the other nominees are all professionals... And today, Monday night yet, yet another son had a major sporting event to attend. He had been saving up all his money from casual work before he purchased the ticket for the event back in September. Tonight, the event is finally here and he’s very excited to go...

It has been a busy month for you. Or more for your children. Great news for the interview. I hope he gets the job. Also great news for the son attending the film award ceremony. That's a great achievement to be recognized amid professionals.

Thank you. Yes, he can certainly put the nomination down on his resumes...

@sishy7 I believe he'll be doing more impressive work in the film industry since he's already being recognized.

@just4him We hope so. I can feel how highly competitive the animation film industry is already even at this very early stage of it...

It sounds like you have some very bright and talented sons! That is a wonderful way to begin the month. How many sons do you have? I have two.

@DianneN Thank you! Sometimes I don't really know how we get through it all but somehow we always do (like, they'd be all in college age at the same time, for instance) and I can only be forever grateful for my blessings...

What an eventful beginning of December for your family - and all big, exciting moments! Your calendar must be filled this month with the holidays and all too. Interesting how a couple of them are into the arts and animation - my daughter for sure is headed that way too - and we'll see about my son. Will your husband be back in time for Christmas?

@sishy7 We use the wall calendar too! Hubby uses his phone as well, but I never do . . . I still have a calendar book for my purse - and mine is written all over in red too! Wow! Even though your boys are older than my kids, I just have to wonder how similar they are . . . at least in the way of art! Well bravo to all of them, and may all the events of December be awesome!!!

Oh yes, he'll be back this week... You're right, there are all kinds of notes on my wall calendar in my kitchen (yes, I still use the old-fashioned wall calendar) and many dates circled in red as reminders... I'd say three of my sons are into the arts although the other one is more into digital arts...

Your sons are pretty busy during this month of December. Yesterday some of the neighbors put up the external decorations, now it starts to look like Christmas time.

All sorts of exciting events happening. So do you have four sons or is one or more doing several of these things? My sister had five sons, I have two and poor Mum despaired of ever getting a little girl to love. She had to wait for a great grand-daughter.

All of your events were good ones for your family (well, okay, maybe not putting your husband on the plane) but everything sounded like it was good or at least good anticipation, right?! I'm glad your month started off good and hope it continues with good events for the rest of this year, sishy!

That's great that all your kids are involved in things that matter to them. How many sons do you have? From this it seems like you have at least four. Do you have more than that or any daughters? I love your picture. Is that near where you live or somewhere else?

Thank you! Some days I earn well, like close to 20 cents, but other days I don't even get to a double digit... So taking it in average, I earn about a dime a day on here...
