Ending of an era...turning of a page...

My life at the moment is a roller coaster. We take our son to college tomorrow!  Tomorrow!! This week has been one of the hardest for me since my father passed away 4 years ago. It doesn't help when PMS hits and my Crohn's decides to give me a little flair-up. Needless to say, I have been a weepy, crabby mess.  You really think you are ready for this wonderful, needed change but you aren't.  Most of my friends are in the same boat, minus the Crohn's and PMS I hope, as their children leave this weekend also.  We are  thinking of starting a whine with wine group next week.  :) 

 I think my low point for the week, was yesterday when I was shopping with Danny at Target, picking up toiletries for him and groceries for the house, when he picked up salsa to put in the cart.  I burst into tears!!  In Target! Over salsa!! Both of my kids just kinda smiled while I scurried to the bathroom to compose myself.  Watching your kids grow up is fun and exciting, but having one of them leave to go on his own, and not really "need" you anymore is tough. Eighteen years goes by in a blink of an eye!  Keep plenty of Kleenex handy.
