We are doing well. Although it’s sad to see them go back. DS had a great time while he was off, and loved being home. Saw lots of his friends that are at different schools and he hadn’t seen since summer. I almost wish he hadn’t , as I wanted more time with him and he was gone too much during break.
He got back with his GF, so we will see how that goes. I’m learning to just shrug my shoulders.
Now, it’s just me in the house…too quiet but I’m getting used to it again. I need to think about some PT work again.
Same as above - I’ll be putting away Christmas stuff next week, but at least it will keep me busy. I take S back on Sunday. He’s the quiet one, so his absence is mostly felt in the way of missing companionship while watching tv at night. I have loved having him home for a month.
Mine goes back 1/22. Am so happy to have him here! Especially since I’m recovering from leg surgery, and he’s much more nurturing than H, lol! I’m sure he’ll be happy to be back at school, tho.
D goes back Sunday. They are doing the WalMart run now. She’s been ready to be back for at least 1-2 weeks. My busy season is looming, so it’s time for her to go back! Was great having her home though–she’s usually good help.
H? Well…I really wish a man with no indoor hobbies in our frigid climate would not hoard his vacation days for the end of the year
One back and already done with the first week of school. Other leaves next week for her study abroad (and that’s a week early for touring the city and hanging out with uncles and a cousin). If she were going back to campus, she wouldn’t start until Jan 27 (28?).
Technically they don’t go back until Monday but right now both are away for the weekend so it’s almost like they are gone (but we will see them Sunday night/Monday morning). We will be fine, but it I always get a little sentimental when they leave. It’s been a wonderful 4 weeks with them home.
I have loved having my S home. He goes back in a few days. He’s been in LA connecting with managers and agents for his desired career, television comedy writing. We live in Boston. I’m so happy for him that he’ll be following his dream upon graduation in May, but, boy, am I going to miss him. I hope I get through this.
Amazingly, i wasn’t the least bit sad when ds2 went back last week. I’m excited that this is his last semester and that, once again, he’s broken up with the gf, and he is looking forward to a drama-free semester. This time I think he has the resolve to make it stick. Stay tuned. He is doing an amazing externship over spring break that he hopes results in a job offer. I don’t know … he’s got so much going on that I was excited rather than sad.
I’m not sad about my son going back to school. I’m feeling that I might be sad when he moves across the country upon graduation. I’m very happy for him and very proud of him and I want so much to not be sad, but sometimes feelings are beyond our control. I like to think I know the difference between being sad about something that really is bad (and I’ve had that) and knowing when this really is a good thing. He’s the youngest of three and we’re closest to him for some reason. The older two are local so we’ll still have family experiences. I just need to get a grip.
She goes back Sunday. I am making her help take down decorations tomorrow.
