I remember when my youngest left for college five years ago...I was so sad but when he came home for the holidays and summer, I couldn't wait until he went back to school again. And like you, my 23 year old is moving out at the end of September, I will miss the routine but I will start a new one. We've done our job. <BR/><BR/>My son was making a list of things he needed for his apartment, he mentioned he has to get curtains, toiletries and Saniflush. It made me chuckle.<BR/><BR/>GerryGerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04747757577691183567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868217754648873098.post-46834895320566411692008-08-18T15:14:00.000-04:002008-08-18T15:14:00.000-04:00Example, when son #2 decided to attend Pitt.

It gets easier after awhile, though. The nice thing is that they're awfully happy to see you after they've been gone awhile. : ) {{hugs}}Daffodil Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785659903570305128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868217754648873098.post-48292700784062512572008-08-18T12:40:00.000-04:002008-08-18T12:40:00.000-04:00Judi - Hang in there.

The beer & sexy girl posters started at the front door and went around the entire apartment-every last inch-like WALLPAPER! I couldn't stand that place! And it smelled like STANK! (They were all jocks - the boys I mean) Anyway, it gets better. Good luck to you and your baby!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
