Hello dear blog friends. I’m checking in today to tell you that I am going to be very sporadic at blogging in the next few weeks. Today when I was looking at my calendar I realized that my son turns 18 this Thursday…as in THIS THURSDAY!!!!!!! For some reason I mistakenly thought that this event was weeks away. Then I came to the even more frightening realization that…my kids both move into the dorms at their college three weeks later….eeeepppp!
That plus some unexpected developments, albeit good ones, have cropped up. These include lots of paper work and hair pulling as well as more mortar and grout but in the end everything is hopefully going to work out for the best for us.
And, of course there is work…..
Hopefully I will be back to my usual wordy self by August 24…in the mean time please excuse the sporadic blogging.
My son turns 12 on Thursday...it is a great day to have a son! Happy birthday to yours, and may your busy month be a happy one! :)

Happy 18th to your boy! And good luck with all the dorm moving-in! Just enjoy your family at this significant stage. We'll all be here when you're ready to be more involved here again. :)

I'm right there with you...we have our annual Canoe Carnival on Saturday, which is also my daughter's 18th birthday. She leaves on a birthday cruise with her Godmother on Sunday and I'll take her to college on the 17th. Then I'll have an empty nest...how strange! Enjoy your time with your family!

Hi Erin,
I sure can relate, my girl turned 18 last Wednesday and coming Saturday we are moving all her things into her room in another city (gasp), slowly but surely all her study books are being delivered and it is really going to happen. Siep is sniffing out all the boxes with her things that are piled up everywhere in the house. I'm excited for her, she is on the treshold of a wonderful adventure but I also have to swallow away that big lump in my throat everytime I see those boxes.
So Erin, we pull ourselves together and remember millions of moms (and dads) have gone through this and millions will go through it after us!
You have a wonderful day coming Thursday with your family. Are we blessed or what??!!
Hug for you from Anita.
