LurkNessMonster-don’t even want to go anywhere near the subject of bedbugs. My D is a flea and mosquito magnet. She would be paranoid of any used furniture if I mentioned bedbugs. It is the reason we are getting her a new mattress. Though in her room at home she has a beautiful 4 post queen sized bed with a top of the line mattress that she bought for $65 complete when the hotel she was working at closed for renovations.
My D has taken some time off from school in the past and she has lived on her own and can take care of herself but as the Mom I enjoy being able to help her out. She is getting excited about moving and I think she is going to start looking for smaller decoration type of items in her present city. Things she can fit in her car.
Ebbeee- I am hoping S gets a spot in an on campus apartment for fall. I really don’t want to have him renting a house or apartment and dealing with all that comes with that. Smart boy that he is, he missed the date of staying in his present apartment. He is now on the wait list for an on campus place. He is staying up at school for part of the summer to attend summer school. He at least got summer housing.
My two kids are the exact opposite. D is overly organized and thinks everything out. S is of the “no worries” camp things will all work out in the end. D wants her apartment to look nice. Son would get by with a pillow and sleeping bag as long as he had his computer and TV to watch the Laker game.
