Mom Blues....

It is raining and dreary here today......very appropriate for my mood.

It has finally hit home that on Wednesday, my baby will be starting high school and my oldest, daughter will be heading back to college......all on the same day.....how did that happen?

I have always had a tradition to do something fun and special to celebrate the first and last days of school (many of you have joined me in this over the years!) I normally thoroughly enjoy this tradition, however.........

My heart is not in it this year...except to maybe get my mind of it all.

I actually think I am worse this year than I was last year about Alyssa going back to college....maybe because I know how much I will miss her.......it could also be that she has told me she won't be coming home next summer.......or possibly it's the independence I see in her as she moves into adulthood.............whatever it is..............I don't like it!!!

........it's a good thing I have the excuse of the Olympics to mope around on the sofa!

Oh SAD!!! I get it I get it ... we have 8 more days till Britt leaves to go back to school -- it is AWFUL -- I am sorry you're down!!!! Go do something exciting to take your mind off of her --- uh ... I don't know what that would be -- hoping you do!

Sara, I totally get it. You are not alone. I wish we could sit on the sofa and eat something decadent together. And, I understand what you mean about all the meat and bread in Ro. In Kaz, the main thing was meat, meat, meat, and I dislike most. Fat is considered a delicacy over there. Ugh. And yes, the author really did email me, and he was nice.
