Sadness at the end of winter break

It’s quiet around the house, but I’m mostly fine about sending him off again, because he’s soooo happy to be there (and after his sister’s terrible freshman yr, I reaalllly appreciate this.) He is very easy to be around, though his sleep schedule got so bizarre in the last couple weeks that we never knew when we’d see him awake or asleep. One thing I won’t miss–my D works nights, so when she’d get home (around 10-11 usually) if neither of them had other plans, they’d sit up half the night chatting and watching movies and X-Files reruns; those of us who needed to be up at 6 did not appreciate that.

The last week got a little hecktic as he “mentioned” he was going to a semi-formal at school in a couple weeks, and oh, yeah, can you help me pick out a suit? So went out in a slush storm to pick it out, then had to go back Saturday morning to get it after alterations, in the middle of packing to go. Luckily, he’s less than an hour away, so the drop-off is much easier for us than for you plane ride folks.
