Jenny in Florida Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I've mostly been okay since my son moved into his dorm a couple of weeks ago. I mean, it's very quiet around here, and my husband and I spent entirely too much of the last two weekends just kind of staring at the walls and talking about the kids. But it's . . . okay. I'm taking classes at the library and online. I'm working the new job. I've done a few cleaning projects, I talked to my daughter today, and she sounds good. My son is coming home for a couple of days this weekend. But . . . wow . . . I'm all weepy and maudlin tonight. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Awwww. I understand. The days are long, but the years are short. I only have two left at home (who are not hsing), and time is rapidly passing. It does get easier, and we do have to reinvent ourselves.

creekland Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 :grouphug: :grouphug: We're still getting used to it here too. For me, it was pretty awful grocery shopping and passing by aisles/products that would have been regular purchases with the guys home. I'll admit to buying some to send to them, but that only slightly helped. And now I'm buying for Labor Day weekend - without them. I suppose I should be happy that the cost is significantly lower.

linders Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am weepy and maudlin and mine are only at school for the day. Can only imagine how much worse it must be for you! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datgh Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'll be joining you in two years. I am not looking forward to it at all!! If you find any good ways of coping, please share! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweiss Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I feel for you and I assure you that I will be in MUCH worse shape when my girls move out. I am already really mourning the fact that they aren't little anymore. I have absolutely nothing that I'm looking forward to once they move out of the house, so I expect full-on depression at that point. I'm really sorry. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 It's like they knew I was feeling down. Both kids called today. In fact, my husband and I were talking to our daughter on speaker when the call came in from our son. We had talked a couple of days ago about him coming home for Sunday and Monday of the long weekend, and I was a little afraid he was calling to tell me his plans had changed, but he actually just wanted to talk about when I could pick him up and what he's been doing the last couple of days. So, I still miss the days when they were both here to hug me every night before bed, but I think I feel a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Well, that stinks. My son just called to let me know the audition that was supposed to be tonight is actually tomorrow, meaning he won't actually be here pretty much at all this weekend. He's still coming in tomorrow night, because he has plans to hit a theme park with friends on Monday, but by the time he stays to do his audition (at 9:00 pm) and we drive back and then he is up and out the door earlier enough to meet friends at theme park opening on Monday . . . So . . . just yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
