WHERE DID ALL THE "SUMMER" GO ?
So with the start of school, our house has become a ghost town or something like that. It's so quiet now even with Mariah there the peace it often unbroken.
It's rather sad for a mom who is used to non-stop noise.
This was Leslie and Bethaney's last summer home, they will remain in Stillwater until college is complete now that they have a house instead of living in the dorms. We didn't see them much during the summer either due to they both worked and took summer classes. It's hard when you come to the realization that your children are grown and no longer need their parents the way they used to. I don't cry everyday anymore but it's been a process to get there. I should of been developing adult relationships all these years, in preparation for my ducks swimming to deeper water as one might say, but I didn't. I spent my days, when not at work, totally focused on my children and their little lives, involving myself even when I wasn't welcome. I watched and listened and learned from them, the best music, the latest gossip, the best friends, the boyfriends, the "no longer my friends", what books to read, what clothes to wear, what hairstyle not to, and some of the most random trivia I'll never be able to impress anyone with.
Why did they have to grow up? ? ?
