Til Jamey goes to college. Yesterday was another good mommy and me day for us. I didn't have to work, so we basically spent the day picking out clothes to pack, organizing them, doing laundry as necessary, etc. We looked through pictures taken this summer and had some prints made. I plan on putting together a small album for him to take with him, JUST IN CASE he is missing all of us. I ran the gamut of emotions yesterday; laughing, tearing up (not that he could see, don't want to upset him), worrying, feeling anxious, and then at the end of the day just loving the hell out of this baby boy of mine. I mean, its gottne so bad at one point during the day while sitting on the floor of his bedroom I actually teared up lookiing at the hairs on his legs!!! Crazy, I know, but understand: THIS IS MY BABY!!!
Anyway, we topped off the night by meeting our friends Peggy, my friend, and mother of Jeffrey, Jamey's friend. Through the years, since kindergarten, the four of us have had many many adventures together. It was only fitting that we should have this 'last supper' together, the four of us. We went to one of our favorite pizza restaurants where the pizza crust is paper thin and it comes out of the oven piping hot and bubbly. The conversation was lively, and every now and again I would just glance over to Peggy, reading the anxiety in her face and measuring it with my own, - she was taking Jeffrey to Maryland today to move him in on Friday. Jeffrey is her baby too - she is feeling much the same way as me. We have mommed them for so long, and I mean mommed them! We spoke for a few minutes on this subject, and I'm sure Peggy and I will revisit it time and time again once these boys are gone.
Today as I was driving home thinking about college AGAIN, I was wondering: whose idea was it anyway that kids should go away? Not mine, that's for sure. Wish me luck . . .
