Countdown is On . . .

A week from tomorrow we take Jamey to college. Yikes, how did this happen? I am freaking out; how can my baby be going to college?

I think about it every day even before my eyes are open. It's the last thing I think about before drifting off to sleep. I know I'm not alone; I've spoken to several moms who are also loosing their babies to college this year. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones cause at least Charles is back home for a while. Momming him should take up some time and keep me busy.

It's just that I'm worrying about Jamey being there. I'm worried about me here without him. I'm so used to having him around; and with four years age difference between him and Charles; it's been only him home for four years (give or take some time that the girls were home). I guess it's safe to say I'm spending a good deal of time just plain worrying. And the crying I'll be doing; you can bet your bottom dollar there will be plenty of that. I just hope I can hold it together at least til I get in the car after we drop him off.

Ughhh - whose idea was it anyway for kids to go away to college without their moms????
