Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!

It will fly by, dang it, and we'll both be two years older!
ReplyDeleteMichele- Did you have to bring THAT up? LOL
ReplyDeleteOh, Pam, I understand the heartache of kids living far away! I wrote about it today, too. blessings, k
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear she arrived safely. What a clever way to have arranged to travel :) I had been wondering what would happen to her dogs, now I know! So pleased she was able to take them with her!
ReplyDeleteAnd now, I know you're feeling very sad and probably also very tearful right now, so I'm sending an extra big hug to comfort you.
Tomorrow is Doodlebug's 20th birthday...my niece who lives in Australia, turned 20 today! I hope you have a wonderful day, even though I know you'll be missing Birdie a LOT!!!
Start the count down, she'll be back before you know it. I'm glad she was able to take her doggies with her. HOpefully, she'll be able to come for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteOur youngest packed up and moved out shortly after graduating from high school. Happily she's only 10 minutes away until she finishes community college and heads 40 miles up the Interstate to finish her degree.
ReplyDeleteI swear I thought that was our Buddy sitting in the passenger seat. Charlie looks just like him!
Oh my. I know how hard this is to have her that far away. I'm thinkin' of you!
ReplyDeleteKaren- It truly sucks.
ReplyDeleteDesiree- Birdie wouldn't go anywhere if she couldn't take her dogs. If she goes, they go. We will be missing Birdie a lot, but we will enjoy DoodleBug's birthday. Shrimp and grits on the menu!
Alessandra-That girl won't go anywhere without her pups! And she will be home for Christmas!
Chip-Our youngest is just downtown and has two more years of college. So at least we still have her nearby. Charlie is a sweetheart! So is Strider!
Judy-Thank you. It is hard. And I don't like it.
I hope you are going to be okay.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are missing her already. But, you done good raising her so she'll be just fine. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt's an exciting new journey for them... a little sad for us.
ReplyDelete((( hugs )))

Oh my goodness, those photos tugged at my heartstrings. It must be very hard.
ReplyDeleteI may be facing this in September, ugh!
Shoot, "Sheldon" moved out last month across town and I miss her like crazy!
ReplyDeleteTears for you. I can't imagine Pam, they just grow up so fast. Mike will take Scout when he goes, which will leave another hole in the heart too.
ReplyDeleteKeep busy they say, think a bit hard through the tears. It'll get easier they say, not to positive about that but millions do it all the time but it's not the same.
Take care my friend, thanks for sharing. Blessings!!

ReplyDeletebig hugs(((((EN)))))) thankyou for your help and kind words when Danny left home, its so damn hard hey.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost 4 months out now and it does get easier. It has helped that he has also missed us and home,so is in touch a lot. he's getting leave this weekend,so will have him under our roof for a few days. can't wait,though I suspect most of his time will be spent with friends.
chin up Mum :)
She'll be having a lot on her mind and busy settling in before the photos arrive to you....I know how anxious you are.
ReplyDeleteI think she's gonna love it in Texas!! I know I do.
Maybe before the two years are over, you may get a chance to visit her...then, drop down to where I am and we can meet!! [hint]
STILT WALKER?
Have a happy Sunday.
She'll be fine mama. If she ever needs guidance on all things Texan, pls, have her call me. I really mean that.
ReplyDeletethe pictures say what you are not :(
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling. ((HUGS)) So those are her dogs? Glad she made it there safe and sound.
