<p>Thanks, all, for all the encouragement re: college list for S2. And with all I have learned on cc, I feel a little more prepared this time around. Like some of you, my S2 (no idea about major or career path) is very different than S1 (monomaniacal about what he wants to study), so there are untapped cc topics I’ll be checking out for this guy.</p>
<p>Thanks for reminding me how effective it can be to show a great school to an unfocused about college kid. Yep. it’s all coming back to me now.</p>
<p>For the first time since 1997 I will not have a kid in high school. Gosh I can hardly remember 1997!
I will have 3 kids in three different states. I would be an empty nester except I have a boomerang -:eek:</p>
<p>I am kind of looking forward to visiting my kids :)</p>
<p>Immediately after, I will be driving home and making a stop in Buffalo to the new Melting Pot restaurant they have out there. Too expensive to take the whole family but I deserve a treat so I will go alone. Follow up with a trip to Plato’s Closet to look for some bargains for DD14. She is supposed to come with us but has mandatory Nutcracker rehearsals that week. I am hoping the AD of the ballet company will let her out of that day.</p>
<p>MomOf3Stars–did you say DD 14?!! With fourteen kids, no wonder you must sneak off to have a quiet dinner alone. :)</p>
<p>haha madbean, no that is DD who is 14 years old!! Usually on most boards I use this is the way we identify ages. If I had 14 kids (especially daughters) I would go to the Melting Pot and throw myself in a vat of hot oil bc right now the 2 daughters I have are driving me to drink!!</p>
<p>Well- we will be dropping the twins off at 2 separate colleges-coming back home in between to reload the car- 2000 miles total (then driving back for
2 separate parents weekends in the fall! After we drop off the 2nd, we’re going to visit friends in Cleveland for a few days. Then it’s home, and I
enrolled in a Saturday masters’ program. Talk about wanting to “displace”
my separation anxiety…</p>
