Today my spirits have been up and down and up and down. I was fine earlier in the day, but I guess I keep expecting Cain to come through the door. I've had a rough day, probably worse than yesterday.
He only called me today because I called him and left a message. I held out as long as I could, so I called him around 10:30 or so. Dealing with his taste of independence is going to be hard for me to handle.
Brooke and I went through several storage bins today and threw away enough stuff that we filled our two HUGE roadside garbage bins (that the city picks up). We'll probably do that about 10 times before we're through with all the junk.
One thing that is keeping me very cheerful is this cool weather we're having, as I spoke about yesterday. It feels like fall and it's heavenly.
Marshall got up at 3:30 and left for a job in LaGrange. He was going to leave last night but we were glad, even though it was hard on him, that he didn't leave until this morning so he could spend a little more time with Scoot before we leave, which we're doing in the morning. :(
Night.

Oh Rachel, I hope you feel better soon!!! Your baby has left the nest...when mine went [both boys], I would have been happy if they'd at least ACTED like they were sorry to go.
Nope...they were like...whoopeee!
Mom was like...wahhhhh!
Rachel, I remember when my youngest daughter left home and I cried like a baby for days and she didn't even leave TOWN! She just moved half a mile away lol!
You're going to be fine. It is a HUGE adjustment though. The whole empty nest thing is FOR REAL. Just give yourself some time to adapt and give your son time, too.
Thinking of you and extending a big old cyber hug :=)
