Usually that is a very true statement! We, as parents, are always happy to see the kiddos packing up and headed back to school but this year is very different for me! It is wrought with happiness and tears! The Moody Teen is taking that final step into adulthood in that he will turn 18 on the first day he starts his Senior year of High School! Sniff, sniff! Is he really that old? Am I really that old? The answer to both is, of course, a big old YES!! To make matters even worse, my little Diva starts Preschool this year! Oh my aching heart! OK, so it is only 2 afternoons a week but still!!
I am really not sure how I am going to cope with all of this change! This also begs the question, what will I do with two free afternoons a week? No really, I never get time that is 100% alone, by myself with no little Diva shadowing me!! I'm sure at first I will come home and sulk but give me a couple of weeks and I am sure that I will find some sort of trouble to get into! I mean there is shopping and coffee shops and, well, I guess I could get some work done too!! Hope you all enjoy this most wonderful time of the year!

We can meet at the outlet mall! LOL!
The last one left the next 24 years ago. That was tough for a few weeks, but it's something one gets over. The granddaughter (only grandchild) starts college in a couple of weeks.
Heads up on him turning 18--be sure to have him fill out all his HIPA forms that allow you access to his medical information asap. We ran into an issue recently and it was a freaking nightmare. Some doctors are cool about talking to you, but others are not. One nurse had my kid all freaked out because he didn't understand what she was telling him about his test results. Ugh.
Oh--don't worry about that wee window of freedom--it will fill up before you know what hit you. You'll be begging for more free time! Enjoy, pally!
