Quiver0f10 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 He is living at home and commuting so it isn't as bad as dorming, but still... Where did the time go? My oldest is looking for apartments and my 17 will be sending out college applications soon too. It seems like in just a few short years I will have an empty nest and I am NOT ready :( DH doens't get it ( or maybe he hides it well?) but I figured you all would understand. :grouphug: to all those with kids starting college this fall.

Kareni Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I agree in wondering where the time goes; all I know is that it seems to be passing faster and faster these days! Congratulations to you and your son as he begins college. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine just started private school this past week, and I've already had some anxiety plus a good cry over it! It's quite a change for me. I'll be praying for you and your ds.

8filltheheart Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I agree. I keep looking at my babies, and when I have to look up instead of down......wow, how did that happen!! At least we still have our babies to hold on to!! I can't imagine how hard it would be if I only had my oldest 2. I would honestly be lost wondering what to do with my days. Thankfully, I am a crazy woman w/o time to think too much and just continue to whip around trying to get everything done so I try not to let it sink in too much. Though, dh and I were talking about it last night. Our oldest has been back at school for 2 weeks and classes start today. He made the comment that he misses him, but he does not want to think about how much harder it will be when dd leaves for college. Bias??? I'm not sure. There is something about our ds that emits "I am ready to be independent and be my own man." I think daddy is picturing his baby girl as needing him for a lot longer.
