I have to say again how much I admire you (and your two mantras) because on some level this had to be a bit scary. Please let us know how big kid takes to living on his own and having to be responsible. I have a feeling it will be a turning point.<BR/><BR/>Little kid cracks me up. Hug that kid.<BR/><BR/>As for CW, how about just CW or the new woman in big kid's life.

Lord love you--having to stand firm AND do all the work to help your son move out and get on with his life. Good mantras, however. I think you should join Little Guy in the singing. With martinis for you and a massage. If I lived closer, I'd get out the shaker and book that massage for you. <BR/><BR/>Also? Kind of off topic, but...I know college kids who have the exact same attitude about getting used/cheap vs. brand new--like somehow at 20 you deserve the same living conditions as a 40 year old who has worked for 20 years and earned it? Yeah. That ticks me off, but do know it's not just Big Buy who has that entitlement attitude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-55713406940320560872008-09-12T07:52:00.000-06:002008-09-12T07:52:00.000-06:00Sounds like the move was traumatic, exhausting but...Sounds like the move was traumatic, exhausting but successful and worth it (his call of thanks).
