This has been a week...and it's only Tuesday!

The older ones announced to me this morning that they are all moving out to their own places.  The twins have decided to move in with their boyfriends and my grandsons to begin their own lives.  My son and his fiancee have announced they will be moving out and Ashley has decided she is moving in with her friends this weekend. In the next few months it'll just be my youngest at home.... her Grandparents have asked if they could have her for the summer.....I guess I'll be suffering from Empty Nest Syndrome. Temporary because I have at least nine years left before Monica moves out on her own...but then again, she's told me she'd always be with me.

I knew this day would come....................eventually, but I didn't think it would come almost all at once.  I know its time for them to be on their own; to be the responsible adults I have taught them to be.

I must tell you, I run my household like a military camp.  Everyone has chores they must do; I've made a laundry schedule so the poor washing machine doesn't run all weekend. 

And truthfully, I like all the activity that accompanies having all those young people in my home.  Reminds me of when I was growing up.  Huge meals to prepare; certain days for certain chores; Sunday Supper...for that matter supper every night

But my job is done.  It's time. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do with all that free time when the work day is done.

Maybe I'll learn to cook gourmet meals....or write a cookbook....................................................hahahahahahaha

Enjoy your day!!  Cheryl
