My Empty Nest.

You know, when my daughter left for college, I was going to buy a pool table for her bedroom and I thought there'd be a party every night. My husband and I have been married for only five years so we're practically newlyweds. So, I've actually been excited about this time because I thought we'd get to spend some time together, just us, like you did when you were first married, before children, before four teenagers :-).

But now that I've actually packed my girl off to college and she is settled in and happy (fingers crossed), I'm dealing with a serious case of Empty Nest Syndrome. So if you see me walking my puppy down the street in a stroller with a baby bonnet on, please call the authorities.

Anyway, I'm back but I'll likely be posting much less. I've missed y'all, though. Hope you had a great summer.

  1. You should post more, not less! If you're out of ideas, go to Plinky.

  4. what a whiner, sorry, but try having a child taken from you by a narcicist ex husband to have his child, a boy at age 9 and now he's 12, all because I remarried,. Jeez, at least you have had these glorious opportunities for child rearing.

  5. I don't have to hear from you all the time, as long as I hear from you some of the time. Welcome back.

    And yes, if anyone sees you with the pups in a pram they should definitely call someone - right after they take a photograph.

    (Seven: Filtering everything through your own experience then calling your ex a narcicist? Ironic.)

  6. I can relate, although I still have two at home. I remember the first year all five of them were in school full day. The plans I had! Unfortunately it wasn't pool table fun, more like getting on the photos in the albums FINALLY. Haven't done it... it's been 7 years.
    It does sound like you are transitioning, I am going to pay attention and see how you do, pick up some tips for my future trip to the empty nest!
    I don't think you were whining...
    Have to agree with David.

  11. Seven: You've violated my blog's "No Douchebag" rule. The bouncer will see you out now; don't bother coming back.

  13. HG is both intelligent and gorgeous. I should know as I am the lucky guy who is married to her. Hope Seven feels better soon....

    But thanks anyway, babe.
