Week-end
Both my kids (and mr. perfect, of course) were home for the week-end...it's soooo very nice to have them all under MY roof, even if it's just for a couple of nights. Big guy played poker with his dad today, he won, and left around 5. Baby girl and her honey hung out with me for the day and left at 8. I know it should be getting easier...and I guess that for the most part it is...at least I don't cry...but I still hate seeing them all leave, it just makes me feel kinda blue. I really miss the days when I felt like I was in control...on top of things. I can't put my finger on the exact time that it happened...but I am definitely NOT in control any more. They have both grown up far too quickly. Next year at this time my baby girl will be getting ready for graduation...I'll be thinking of sending her off to college...it is so hard to believe that I will soon be a REAL empty-nester. I'm not looking forward to it and I guess that I'm just gonna stop thinking about for now anyway. I'm just going to look forward to the summer...her being back home and big guy visiting as often as possible, he's not living at home this summer, lots of sunshine (I hope) and all of us enjoying the time that we have together.
Here's To Long SUMMER Days and Warm SUMMER Evenings spend in the company of family and friends!
