Phone calls from the Mighty Marine....


The Spawn and I decided break out of the house and head TC day.

I have say, the drive from Bellaire Traverse City is beautiful when the f colors are everywhere....

The best part of my day was hearing from my Mighty Marine, though.

We were in Old Navy when I seen his na pop up on my cer ID.

"Hi Babe! I'm so happy hear from you!!"

I still rey miss him so, so much.

"Hello Mother!"

He has liberty ti on weekends, now.... And he was excitedly telling about his "civies" that he bought and how excited he was that he can walk and talk on the phone and wear his ear buds out in public.

Apparently when they're in their "cammies", they aren't owed do any of that.

It made smile hear him laughing and talking with friends while he chatted with on the phone.

They were on their way the bowling ey...

I would have given anything bowl a fra with him.

Usuy when I talk my Marine, I feel better when the conversation is done. day I did not... day I wished he was ho.

I still have good days and I still have not so good days.....

day was a not so good day.

I can think of is, if I'm this broken up about a middle leaving the nest, what am I going be like when the Spawn leaves as well??

I may need be institutionalized.

We'll save those thoughts for another day....

Until then, happy Saturday!

Hugs momma bear. I haven't gotten any of my spawn to leave the nest yet, but if all goes according to plan, they will both leave next summer and it will be a cold blast of water to the face for me. Hang in there!

    When the G-girls moved out I was happy and sad. I'm getting used to it. You will, too.
I have way more good days than not so good days now.... It helps that he's not so miserable and starting to enjoy things. I know that eventually it won't feel like a piece of my life is missing, but right now it still does.

    It will be hard when the Spawn moves out but if she doesn't leave the area, it will be an adjustment, but you'll still have the opportunity to see her.
I've already warned her.... I'm expecting her to come home frequently from college and if she plans to move away, she'd better get a place with a guest house because I'm coming too. LOL

    Quoting MrRareity:
    I can't say this enough but your blog makes me happy. Although I'm not a parent from what I've heard and know it's going to be hard on you when the youngest leaves. But they will come home often just as long as they don't move across country. From what I've read you are close to your kids so they might be living with you but they will see you and call you. All because of the closeness you share. Next thing you know you'll have little feet scattering throughout the house bring you another joy. Mom sounds like a very wonderful woman to me.
It makes me feel good to know my blog makes you happy. I'm at a point where I can't wait to have little feet scurrying around the house, I miss baby snuggles and inquisitive toddler minds. It's going to be a while for the Marine or the Spawn.... Maybe the Oldest Son will finally settle down. One can only hope!

I don't think there is another way.... Difficult as it feels sometimes, I still wouldn't trade it for anything.

    Quoting CUMHANDLEME:
    Empty nest syndrome is real and painful. As you fully know, your job as a parent is to raise them to go out in the world and prosper. They don't tell us about the part where they leave the house to come back for holidays or visits 😞
They don't tell us about that part.... And it is hard. At least I know my son is coming home for Christmas, he bought his plane tickets already, but wouldn't tell me the day he arrives because he wants it to be a surprise. I can't wait.

I think it's going to be a pretty lazy Sunday today.... Resting and recharging.

    Beautiful.

    I am so very happy to hear these things.

    (Aside from the difficulties.)

    Things are looking good.

    Your future is bright.

    Do not worry.
Thank you. I have to say, the present feels pretty cloudy and uncertain.... It's hard to see that bright future.

She is the last to leave, I'm certain it will be difficult. I've spent my entire adult life mothering children...
