Night's nipping at the edges of the day again. Our favorite summer TV show's top dancer is announced tonight, leaving a void in our weeknight family routine. And, most importantly, the nest again is less crowded now that The College Kid is enroute to Sonoma State to start her sophomore year.
Excuse me while I deal with some serious separation anxiety.

The separation anxiety is the destiny of the parents, our destiny. I remember the day when my son left to spend one year in the Navy.....and I know very well how the life is in the barracks.
awwwwww....
now i know how my mom felt while i was in college...and while i still live out on the east coast instead of the west coast!
The middle kid had senior pictures today.... I have anxiety already and she won't leave for a year. I better get some serious hobbies.
The separation anxiety is from the kid, right? Not the TV show? I'm just clarifying, because I've become really attached to some TV shows in the past.
we are watching SYTYCD right now. as a matter of fact their tour is coming to my neighborhood this year. not sure if we'll go or not, hoping my husband can score some tickets, since they are 30+.
sorry about the "little bird"
xo
Hang in there. My oldest starts 4th grade - 8 more years before I have deal with that. Thank GOD!
You deserve a massage or a facial - pamper yourself!
My wife and kids have separation anxiety when I am in school and I don't even leave the house.
separation anxiety is good and healthy - it's the natural order of things. Just think how well you have prepared her for life out in the big world and smile to yourself.
It does leave a big gap, doesn't it? Everything changes at home - there's foods I don't buy anymore because he's not here, the house is quieter, the activity level is lower, no more beautiful piano music, no more long philisophical conversations...yet all those things are still happening with the one still here, and I think we've become closer now that big brother is out of the daily picture. Funny.
