Life is too short to not be myself…
Today is our first Saturday as empty nesters. It's still early, only 9:05 am here but it's started out pretty good. We tidied up the patio and had a lovely breakfast out there but then it got hot and we came inside to finish our tea and coffee. I crocheted for a bit. DD needed some... Continue Reading →
This morning, bright and early we left dd in her new apartment ready to start her new adventure. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Leaving my son 6 years ago is another one... We spent a wonderful 5 days with her, moving her in, unpacking, setting everything up and doing a... Continue Reading →
For my daughter anyway. We made it to her new home and it is lovely. Our 10.5 hour drive turned into 12 with the trailer in tow. And there is a time difference. Yes, my baby will live in different time zone! Anyway, I digress, we arrived at 7:30pm and got the keys, found a... Continue Reading →
My people, this is real! We are all packed up and leaving in a few. It is so exciting and sad and joyous and scary and wonderful and sad all at the same time! I don't have time for much of a post, but I will post as we are settled and have the time.... Continue Reading →
As the time is drawing near, my heart feels so heavy and my eyes so full. We pack up the U-Haul tomorrow and head out to her new home on Friday. How can it be time already? This week has just flown by for me. This MONTH was merely a blink of the eye! Like... Continue Reading →

Ok, So I don't even think this is fair. First, we have the raging hormones during pregnancy and now as they are getting ready to fly the coop, we have the raging hormones of menopause or perimenopause. What's the deal?? Can't we catch a break here? I guess it's just all part of motherhood and... Continue Reading →
Yep... this is my day... well inside anyway. I'm working hard on not letting it show but when she played the piano and started singing? Waaa.... how will I ever make it through church tomorrow? And preaching at that! Ok, deep breaths... and go take your St. John's Wort NOW!
My Friends, this is hard! I awoke this morning thinking, this is the last time till Christmas I will make her favorite chocolate chip pancakes and I need to go to the store and get the milk to make them. And a silly tear slipped out of the corner of my eye... over milk... over... Continue Reading →
So, originally, I thought I would just post about once a week but what the heck, this is therapy and I figure, it's as often as I need it, so here I am again! Yesterday was a rough day. I miss my dog terribly, and I'm already grieving my daughter moving... this empty nest thing... Continue Reading →
