My oldest dropped some news on me that I guess should not have been a surprise, but nonetheless saddened me a bit. Even though she has technically been out of the house ever since she was still in college, she still was less than 4 hours drive away and somehow that made me feel like she still hadn't totally left the nest...just that the nest had a long bottom to it.. sort of like a rubber band.
Anyway she has decided grad school is too costly for whatever value it could give her which I don't blame her for, but she has decided to move back East and work there. So..she won't be somewhat close to me anymore and that is what makes me sad. She is all grown up though and has a mind of her own so, all I can do is hope that she is happy and does well there. Her dad at least still lives back East so he will be lending a hand and at least I know she won't be there totally by herself. I plan to go visit her with the youngest before she leaves next month.
This weekend I didn't have to work and it was such a nice break from working all the time I felt like I was on vacation. I even didn't mind cleaning all 2 1/2 bathrooms, and scooping poop in the back yard. It was just so nice giving my brain and eyes a break from the computer.
We watched some movies this weekend too, some were good, others were not. These were all rentals. Planning on seeing the last Harry Potter movie when we go visit the oldest. I am really looking forward to it!
