Coffee anyone ?

Sorry about the loss re

Sucks.


Thanks for the kid compliments. Yeah, the reason I had to get in the car and GO was I was talking kid 2 to his board of review 2 hours away.

They said he was 1 of the best they had ever seen, and yeah, he got his eagle.

And he has finished high school, kid 2. Since he took English in the fall from the college it counts as a college class AND as a full year of high school English. And he had as ll of his other credits (boy had a very full load of classes all through high school). So... done.

So kid 2 leaves today to go down to Texas.

Hit me like a ton of bricks I think Tuesday. 2 kids out of the house....

Going to feel kind of empty, huh? You could move to Texas like you had mentioned earlier and change you screen name to Texaskan.

3 more to go though... youngest is only 10..

This "getting to be an empty nest" will be a long road! Which is good... don't think I could handle them all leaving at once.

But I had thought they would all stay home for the first 1 or 2 years of college before heading off, WAY less money that way.

And that hasn't happened.

Eldest was gone for almost 2 months of his senior year of high school, then 3 months that summer. He was home for the first year of college, but gone all summer,back for 1 week and then gone, gone!

Second is leaving today and he is a senior in high school. He will be back for maybe a week or 2 to attend high school graduation, then gone all summer. He is thinking MAYBE he will be at home for his first college semester next fall... then skedaddle.


Third wants to skip college entirely and go to trade school. No trade schools in town so the second he has all high school credits he will be gone.



I sure am proud of them... but the ball is rolling faster than I thought it would.

Maybe we all need a group hug, a huge bowl of comfort food of mac and cheese and drink of our choice!!
