Well it's been a long time since I've been number one on this blog thats for sure but I'll gladly accept it .. winks at you.... Come on now Mom the boys are going to leave it simply has to be that way it's life. You know that so shrug your shoulders loosen up and enjoy Dan while he's still around no pun intended he's not going anywhere... Yes I noticed the picture immediately thank you I've always been very observant ya no... back to the boys... You have done a great job training them to be great young men now be proud and always there when they need Mom as you've always been. But let go gently and gracefully too..look to life on the other side of the vale it's your turn and before you know it it will be there turn also. We all go through this at some point in our life it's totally normal My heart goes out to you but I know you will be okay .. Your Internet Friend from Oregon USA
Fcuk it! Haloscan just ate my comment Lisa!!!! And it was a long one about all your men and everything. *stomps off to sulk*
Larry: Thanks Larry, that's very kind of you to say. I know it has to happen, and for the most part I'm feeling ok about it...I just know when the time actually does come, I'll have to suck up a lotta snot to avoid drowning myself hahaha (yuk Lisa!)
Have already told Ryan he's not allowed to leave home, ever lol
Jo: Aw no, darn Haloscan. Can you not rewrite it? You know how much I look forward to your words of wisdom...need them even! I'm sure the boys would be right chuffed to read you said "all your men..." lol
Jo What do you mean all her men, I thought we had gone beyond that. Oh I see you are talking about the boys (men). LOL
Lisa Honey 12 months ago today at about this time, I was in a motel room, and the start of a new life was just about to begin with you. I Love You
We are in the good books, you and I. We have both posted - apparently that has cheered up a Welsh exile who has fallen out with Halo-scan.
Thank you for your kind words- just read it back and realised ALLL the errors in my writing. Boy I am out of practise.
I am with you about the kids leaving... I am dreading it. The sensible part of me (yes there is one) tells me that they have to go. BUT the mushy slushy mum part of me wants me to build an invisible force field that will only let them roam so far and then CRASH! BANG! WALLOP! they are transported back to thier "still to be cleaned bedrooms"
Mind I have a third kid (40 in April) who had spent the last two weekends playing on his new X-box 360!
What is wrong with a picture that makes you look young?
Dan: Yes, there's certainly been a lot of changes and adjustments in the past 12 months hasn't there? Thank you, I love you too Babe. *smooch* (shame that can't be in person lol)
Fizzy: Have to say I never noticed any errors, could've been the time of night I was reading it though, and gauging by the time of night you wrote it, it's not surprising if you made errors lol.
As I was saying to Dan today, I know it's going to happen, and I'm actually feeling ready for Cameron to go...but...on the day he walks out, I've no doubt I'll feel the void immediately. You've still got years to go yet...and the "still to be cleaned bedrooms" thing never changes lol
Lisa, I think that photo is gorgeous but looks younger than the other one which puts you at a worryingly young age...
I love the 'new' picture. You look amazing.
It seems as though you have done a great job with your boys, and it is about time Cameron moves out.
I 'moved out' a couple of times, but I did always keep my mother's house as a 'home base' and it was great. People who I didn't communicate with often, or I had lost touch with, still had an address to write to me. In that respect it was good. Of course, then I moved to BC, my mother sold the house and the new owners tore it down and re-built.
Remember...just because they move out does not mean that they are gone (he still needs to eat and have clean clothes..haha).
As sick as it sounds, the fact that you and Dan have been together for some time and you still have a 'breakdown' when he leaves is a good thing.
Nice new photo! Yes, it's difficult when the kids leave home, especially the second time after coming back once!
I remember the "leaving the nest"syndrome well...I said I wouldn't do it,but I cried and boo-hoo'd for days,and even refused to open the bedroom door,thus leaving tea glasses to mold etc..lol
Then when I SORTA got used to the idea,my oldest came back home to stay.lol...You'll be fine,hun.
Great picture...of course I know someone that you know too and he said in person you are absolutely stunning,and your personality is as cool or cooler than your blog is.
;-}
