Thank you for all your kind wishes.

We(L&I)have a game plan.Let the battle commence

I am feeling unbelievably strong right now. How long it will last is another matter

S16 stayed over last night. I currently have a lot of meetings at the uni which is across the road from the college he goes to. Things didn't go quite according to plan yesterday though. I was supposed to bring him home from college but my meeting over ran by an hour or more so he caught the bus back to Hs. The reason we had agreed that he stay the night was b/c I had another meeting at the uni this morning and I offered to drop him off at college. By him staying here it meant we both got an extra half an hour in bed! Yesterday afternoon this morning's meeting was cancelled but I knew if I told S16 this he would not come to stay. So we carried on with our plans. I picked him up from Hs later and once he was here I told him the meeting was cancelled but that I would still get up and take him to college as I had promised.

I felt so peaceful last night knowing that I had all my children in thier rightful place (under my roof) and I made sure I told S16 this when we got up this morning. He appreciated that and said he had enjoyed staying as well. I made no demands on him to move back home but did offer to carry out the same arrangement next Tuesday when I have to go on a course which is being held at a building very near to his college and is an all day event. He hasn't given me an answer as yet and I did not pressurise him.

D13 is unwell today but at least I was already scheduled to work from home today.

D18 is now counting down the days to when she goes off to uni. I am equally excited for her.
