It is funny how we raise these little creatures and yet seem surprised when they actually leave. I hope I have a couple more years before I face that one.
I am glad that you were able to have a good time with your oldest. It seems as if he may be a bit torn between being on his own or hanging on to being a kid a tad bit longer. Don't take it personally, he loves you.
Sorry to hear about your MIL. I hope she gets better and that you can enjoy some time together. You are such a kind and wonderful person. I can feel it all the way over here!
Good luck with the house. hugs, kat
