It's me. I'm on high alert, kid alert, right now for two reasons and their names are Charles and James. First, Charles is flying to Paris today to play basketball with his college team. I didn't realize it until today that today is Friday the 13th. I don't consider myself to be a superstitious person by nature; however, flying on Friday the 13th, just in case, would not be a choice I would make. He didn't happen to put the two together until today either. Needless to say, he left with my rosary beads in tow - just in case he needs them. I'm happy for him and all the experiences he'll have, but nervous all the same. The momaholic in me just doesn't feel comfortable when my kids are so far away, can't help it.
Second reason for high distress is that I also woke with the realization that two weeks from tomorrow we will be moving Jamey into college for the first time. YIKES!! I am not ready for this at all mentally. I'm holding it in too, which is even worse. I hope I can hold it somewhat together for his sake, and that of the rest of the family. This could prove to be a very long two weeks. I'll keep you posted.
Oh God, it's 9:25 and Charles takes off in 5 minutes!! I know that I won't get much sleep, that goes without saying. I'll just say a quick prayer for a safe flight - Godspeed my sweet Charles! And have a good time. Tear up Paris a little for me . . .
