My big guy is home! YIIPPEE!

[Misanthropical]

Two weeks ago, I watched my big guy go through airport security to fly out of state for two weeks. When he couldn't see me anymore I did the whole thing.

I kept in touch with him by texting, but it wasn't the same. I worried about him the whole time even though he told me stop worrying. I informed him that as his mother I would never stop worrying about him and he should just accept that.

He shares a room with my little guy, so the little guy came in our room. I had snoring in surround sound, since my little guy and my husband both snore LOUDLY, but neither one will admit it.

Anyway, at about around noon yesterday, my big guy came home and I nearly knocked my husband over to get to my son. My big guy thought it was funny that I was nearly squeezing the life out of him.

Last night, he was walking by my desk and I ran over and gave him another huge hug and he told me I am so silly sometimes.

I am just glad his home. Now, what do I do when he leaves for college in another year?!? I don't want to think about it right now.

Your kids are both very lucky that you love them so much.

All three of them (I have a daughter between the big guy and the little guy) are very much loved.

She wasn't mentioned, so not your fault. She is 14 and tries to pretend that she doesn't care one way or another, but I know better. I know she enjoyed the fact that we had leftovers for once in her lifetime though.

I am right there with you. We can cry together next year, as my son will be a senior in high school as well.
He is looking at colleges pretty far away, how about yours?

College?!

I was almost in tears thinking about how this time next year, my son will be entering Middle School and my daughter going into Kindergarten.

College....ugh..*shudder*

ZumZum luckily it's not that far only about 3 or 4 hours away, but I will still miss him.

Amina516 my little guy is going to middle school this school year.

I suddenly feel so old!

Li'l Bro graduated high school this year and will be leaving for a 2-year mission in January. Li'l Sis decided to stay in <college town> this summer instead of coming home.

QFT. I wish I had family like this.

My little brother just graduated high school and is starting college in the fall. My baby brother is going into middle school.

I graduate with my Bachelors this spring. Daddy turned 41 today. Just because you've got kids in college (almost) doesn't mean you're old.

My husband and I would adopt you, but there is a waiting list my children's friends made up, so no one can jump ahead of them if my husband and I should want to adopt.
