<p>wbow–so what did he forget that you had to mail to him? :D</p>
<p>he hasn’t unpacked yet! he went to boston first to see a friend a play a round of golf…i was clever enough to have him throw in a golf shirt and pants in his back pack so he wouldn’t have to unpack to find anything.</p>
<p>he probably won’t know what he’s missing for a few weeks…he doesn’t need much of anything for pre-season training. but he’s a guy–he’ll just do without whatever he forgot!</p>
<p>Wow, wbow, I was thinking to myself that my daughter needs more time than that to get ready for a date, and I see SBmom had a similar thought.</p>
<p>Hey, has anyone noticed that we’re chugging along toward post # 7777? That really strikes me as a lucky number. </p>
<p>Well, my summer vacation is officially over tomorrow…three days of meetings and classroom prep this week, and the eager students will be there on Monday AM ready to learn, learn, learn. Here’s to a good academic year for all!</p>
<p>wbow- My son better be as quick as your son. 12 noon and no sign of him.
Wecandothis- We have something in common. I have already picked up his prescription, deposited money in his bank account. And am now going to make sure he has all of the paperwork he needs for orientation.
I should just let him sink.
And what’s with the 16 yr old girlfriends Mom who let’s the 17 yr old boyfriend stay the night? I am really letting go.
I am going to have my husband make me a greyhound tonight with fresh squeezed pink grapefruit juice/ light on the alcohol. Maybe I’ll have two!</p>
<p><em>sarcasm warning</em></p>
<p>what’s with the 17 year old’s mom who let him spend the night at his 16 year old girlfriends’s house?</p>
<p>just turning the tables on ya a bit…i’m sure that if anyone offered my son a chance to sleep over, i’d be hard pressed to say no…i just never understood all the overnight boy/girl parties anyway!</p>
<p>I accept the sarcasm- I don’t think a 17 yr old should be spending the night at the girlfriends house. She wouldn’t have stayed here. At this point he leaves in a day and I felt I was not going to have much success with the battle. I also told my D’s don’t get any ideas.
The Mom let several kids sleep over. In separate areas of the house. Going way out my box. I allow my son to have male friends sleep over but don’t actually allow him to sleep out. I find that many parents don’t watch them as well as I do.</p>
<p>seriously, i don’t get it either. i think it’s a case of the mom trying to be her daughter’s best friend. </p>
<p>my youngest did go to some overnight sleepovers with his class–they traditionally camp out on the front yard of the school the night before the first day of their senior year…and after that, i kind of let him make up his own mind on things.</p>
<p>thanks for having a good sense of humor!</p>
<p>mom60, I doubt you’re watching them as well as a tattle-tale little brother. My secret weapon.</p>
<p>Bump.</p>
<p>I wonder what the little brother says…</p>
<p>All this talk of sons is making me miss mine. He’s been gone a week and still hasn’t packed!</p>
<p>DLM–do you mean <em>unpacked</em>?</p>
<p>No, I definitely mean pack. He’s a business major with no ties. He’s also forgotten all his video games. He called with a long list of everything I need to ship to him. All he packed were his Ralph Lauren Polos and 15 pairs of Nikes.</p>
<p>^^^ oh, oh, oh… a new entrant in the Sinners Alley Boys With Acronyms pantheon, methinks. We’ve got TJFH, TSFH, TSFS… Okay, I’m tired, I need a program to remember all the players. I admit it.</p>
<p>Moving along… DLM123, have you followed all our boys and their tags? (The Junior from He!! graduated to be TSFHe!!. There was The Sophomore from Space. There were some Formerly Known As’s and so on and so forth.</p>
<p>But I don’t think we’ve had a BMWNT (business major with no ties) as yet. A worthy addition :D.</p>
<p>Mine should be packing to leave at 7 a.m. for a 2 day car ride. But a friend he hasn’t seen all summer just called and he’s making a run to meet a group. An hour later he has the final good bye with the almost girlfriend when she gets off work. I did the laundry and found boxes, and I refuse to ship anything. He better get 'er done before morning!</p>

<p>:D</p>
<p>LOL. LOL. </p>
<p>How did he see the tongues, that’s what I want to know:).</p>
<p>Wow!</p>
<p>I just read the first 50 pages (quite a few good chuckles) and the last 17 of this thread, and I have to say how sorry I am that I was not a CC’er back in the early days…so much fun!</p>
<p>SBmom (very cute list)–little sisters work well too…mine used to hide under the pool table in the den and spy on my BF and me (a la Harriet the Spy), and then file a report with my mother. It was a little too late when I finally found her out. Little girls are so much sneakier. I’m grateful that my DD doesn’t require anyone spying on her–she’s a much “better” person than I ever was!</p>
<p>Talking about post moving out…How many moms here have already cleaned out from under their son’s beds? :eek:</p>
<p>Doubleplay - I’m afraid to go in there!</p>
<p>Just you wait and see…
Mmmwwaahhh hahh haahh haahh haah…</p>
