Life changes

I knew this day would come, but I always thought it would be later than sooner. I knew my son was planning to move out this year, we have talked about it a lot. Yesterday he called me at work and said him and a friend found an apartment and it is available the first of next month. He is going to look at it on Wednesday. It was cute when he said "I am going to dress nice and be professional because they don't like to give kids apartments". I was like "whoa, let's talk about this later" I can't be sad at work. I thought about it all night and it's still on my mind today. How do you prepare for this?? He is 20 years old, he is at the age where he needs to start his life. He just graduated college, has a good paying job and he IS ready. I on the other hand, am not! Tanner was my first born, he is the one who made me a mom. The one who was always there for me for 8 years, while I was a single mom. He was my first true love. He just doesn't kno

We finally took down the Christmas decorations today and the house is back to normal. It's always such a bittersweet time. This year even more so because we downsized a lot for the move. We went from 8 or 9 large tubs to 5. I have the hardest time getting rid of anything. I seem to think eventually I will use it again, even though it sits in a box year after year. Our move is really going to get my butt in gear to get rid of anything that is not needed. Why can't I take it all with me?!?! Believe it or not, I feel like I am more prepared for this move (at the moment) than I have been with any other. I know that is a shocker to all of you who know me and how much of a procrastinator I am! We only have a little over a month and a half to go before we put the house on the market. Fingers crossed we stay ahead of the game with the purging. (I feel like Rob Schneider is in my head repeatedly saying "You can do it".) Ha! :) Well, this was kind of a short and sweet post t
