I sent my mom a picture of the Roll of Arms that Lachlan and I did for Pentathlon, and you know what her sole reaction was:  She wanted to know if my arms were on it.  Not good job, not fabulous, not any kind of praise, just wanted to know if my arms are on it.  (Which is no of course cuz it's a roll of the sergeants of Lyondemere.)  Now I ask you, what kind of message does that send?  She's always telling me how wonderful all of my relatives are but when I show her stuff I've worked on, that I'm a little proud of, she has nothing good to say.  Hrumph.

Sounds like your mom and my mom should get together. I talked to my mom over the weekend and told her I might have a job interview at Disney. She asked what the job was and I said "Production Secretary," so she practically yells into the phone, "Secretary?! You're going to be someone's secretary?!!" Never mind that it's the first real job lead I've had in about 6 months...

Best of luck with it!
