How did saying goodbye to your niece go? I said goodbye to my cousin last night. I held it together pretty well but I am going to miss her! The good thing is my cousin is so excited to head off to college; it made saying goodbye easier.
Edit: I am taking back my pretty well. Sitting at my desk this morning, it is hitting me that Rebecca is leaving and I am trying to hold in the tears. :-( I have a new respect for parents who send their kids to college. How do they do it?
Re: *kclouts*
I replied to your post on FB. It was weepy. We had dinner out on Friday which was fine and then we went to my sister's last night. She was leaving to go to a friend's house and we were heading home so we hugged and the waterworks started. I spent the entire ride home and about an hour after that feeling heartbroken. Kaila is really excited too and I am so happy for her, I am just REALLY going to miss her. I mean, I know she is coming back at Thanksgiving, I am just having a hard time focusing on the short term rather than the long term. I doubt that she will come back here to live after college, so this kind of feels like a forever kind of thing.
WAH!
OMG, clearly, I am in denial. I haven't thought about the long-term. I don't think I want to. It hadn't dawned on me that Rebecca might want to live somewhere else, although that's the choice her older sister made. Ugh; I would be heartbroken if both girls end up living somehwere else in the long-term.
Rebecca made me all these promises last night - I'll be back for fall break, Thanksgiving and Christmas. We can e-mail. We can skype. I'm trying to focus on that.
I'll be thinking of you this week.
Skype...yes, I need to figure that out. I don't even know if I have a camera on either of the laptops that I use!
I was driving, so I didn't feel it at all.
Poor DH on the other hand was, well, on the john, shall we say. Poor guy thought he was about to pass out and didn't realize it was a quake until about 15 seconds in to it.
