Good morning, all!
LIMOMOF2, no worries! Please feel free to put coffee on, especially if it's the morning after the night before, and the night before involved mudslides!
copter, congratulations, and yes, of
course you were supposed to know which college he'd chosen without being told! (Sheeeeeeeesh!!!!!!!) I'm glad you're not holding him up any more! (I'm lol; that's just funny, and oh, so so so typical!)
mountains, 4 AM is a fine time to go to bed in my book, not so good a time to get up!
I'm glad there are early birds and night owls in the world, and not just because that gives the Vigil Lounge its 24-hour-a-day appeal (though that's nice, too!).
kitkat, what mythmom said. It'll all work out and he'll be somewhere in the fall!
H and I have had breakfast, and I've started a loaf of bread so we have bread for sandwiches by lunchtime. I filled out some CTY forms before the coffee was ready, and have to finish these up to get into today's mail. The (wildly expen$ive) bill's been paid. S has a long time this year between the end of school and his first CTY session. I suggested he use some of that three weeks to knock out some volunteer hours. He was amenable, but I'm certain he's not taken any steps to do this.
His sense of time is tending toward his dad's -- no realization that time hasn't stopped, that it keeps moving and what is in the future approaches with each day, whether he's paying attention to it or not. This can give the appearance of procrastinating, but I think it's something different, an unawareness or inability to register time the way others do.
Me? I'm very well aware of time passing, and should I ever need a reminder, all I have to do is stand next to the tall child to see how much he's grown overnight!
He came downstairs yesterday morning and told me he needs a new bed, that he doesn't fit in his. Well, yeah, and you haven't for a while, kiddo, which is why you sleep diagonally on it; stop growing, and that'll make it easier to keep a bed you'll fit in! (I doubt he'll take my oh so sage advice.)
