I Hardly Know Where To Begin…

…and so for tonight – I won’t – except to say that Chickie is successfully married and they have moved out of my house to their new stylish (cough cough) digs on base in Fayetteville.

And my house if very empty. Two rooms (plus) of furniture dompletely gone……..and the house echoes my empty footsteps.

And there is no little girl running towards me with glee shouting "Grandma!"

And I am happy and excited for them – they are finally starting their new life.

And I am sad for me. Selfish me. I want my family here with me.

I thought I could write this reasonably and rationaly – but my allergies must be acting up cause my eyes are watering.

Be back soon – I now have much more discretionary time to spend…….

I’m sorry, honey. Sounds lonely. But speaking of selfishly – I’m glad you’re writing here again. *hug*

We’re both living in big empty houses longing for the good ole days when they were filled with happy family sounds.

It is so good to hear from you. I know what an empty nest feels like. It will take time. Think about the things you like to do. Now you will have time for them. You are lucky you have a job to go to each day. I know this is hard for you. Keep us updated.

That empty nest thing is a killer and I understand completely. It is good to see your name highlighted on my favs list again though. Welcome back.

It does get quiet. Very, very quiet. Yep, there are times those allergies show up unexpectedly.
