It's quickly approaching. The youngest has already started classes at his new school and so far seems to be doing well. I suspect the heavy load hasn't hit yet and will be a real eye-opener when it does.
The oldest moves into his college dorm Friday. I can hardly believe it. He turned 18 on the 11th and I can hardly believe that as well. He has all of the stuff he's taking packed up and in the middle of the living room floor. I'm not sure if it's a monument or a wall. Or just an effort to make sure he doesn't forget anything.
I know kids go to college all the time and succeed but I worry. I hope he's prepared. I hope we've done what we were supposed to do to get him ready for this day and for the rest of the days. I think he's a little nervous because he's been testy that last week or so. I guess we all have our days but jeez o pete, he's had a string of them. Doesn't help that there's other tension in the house. So much going on and no end in sight.
Retirement is looking better and better.
