I feel your pain. Our son is a junior in high school this year and we are just dreading when he leaves home in a couple of years for college.

*hugs*

It could be worse – he could go to a co-op school and never go home again because you’re either working or going to school all year long. That’s what I did.
I know that probably doesn’t help, but remember the summer you had and knit.

This week, I’m at “would 1st grade please start already!” so I’m not quite there with you, but I took the first two weeks of school off from work so I could be here if my daughter needs me. I guess we’re not that far apart in concern for our kids starting school again.

College Guy, the web site is awesome, so you must be really great! Western State College starts here tomorrow, and we live just across the street. We enjoy having the students here and it always energizes town to have them around. Have a good time.
Sheri, squeeze some soffft yarn…..

This Hoosier gal is happy to welcome Web Guy back to Indiana. Surely with his mere presence all of our computers will act better.

Good luck at school College Guy! Study hard!

And Sheri, maybe you can console yourself with yarn? It usually helps me!

Sheri, I forgot to tell you that when College Guy leaves, maybe you can talk WH into going to Cold Stone Dairy to get you a nice frozen treat to go with your Chocolate Chip Cookies! And, at least KD is still living at home for another year! Hugs to you all!

I know it’s hard to let them leave to go back to college. My college son had to leave Thursday morning to go back because he had to be at work at 6:00 Thursday evening, with his audio job. Since it is such a long drive (450 miles) thru some country that while it is really beautiful, it is really wilderness, etc, I have him call me periodically along the trip, so that I know he is doing ok, etc. He’s kind of funny when he’s driving sometimes, in that he knows that I can come up with answers quickly for him on the Internet, whether for an alternate route because of traffic problems, construction, etc (I’ve been known to answer my cell phone, “Mommy’s Mapping Service”) or whatever. Thursday, an error code for his air conditioning in his older model car popped up, and I had answers quickly for that, too. Fortunately, just stopping & restarting the engine rebooted its computer. My guy was home just two weeks this summer–one at the beginning & one at the end, because he went to summer school all summer & worked up there.

Please send my best wishes to your College Guy for a great school year! I can remember from my junior year, that it was really busy, with course load, but the courses were finally fun in my major and related subjects. College Guy, you have done a great job with the web site. We’ll miss you. We know that you’ll help your mom troubleshoot any problems with it long distance! Hugs to you both! Take care!
