We're headed to visit Brandon in Manhattan this weekend. I can't believe his freshman year at K-State is almost over. We'll be headed back up mid-May to move him home for the summer. It will be great to have him home for a few months. I still miss him - but not as bad as when he left last August. You get used to it I guess. Now come August of 2009, when we have an empty nest, I'll be boo-hooing for a while! I have friends who say "you'll love the freedom of having no kids at home" and friends who say "you won't ever get used to an empty house"; so I don't know how we'll react.
I am currently reading "Hold Tight" by Harlen Coben. He's one of my favorite authors. I know I say that a lot, but I have a lot of favorite authors. What can I say, I'm a book-a-holic!And I think we need a friendship quote/lyric today, in honor of two of my friends whose positions are being eliminated and are facing the daunting task of finding a new job:
"When you're down and troubled and you need some loving care,
And nothin', nothin' is going right
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend.
