I've been buying a few things here and there, in preparation for L's move to university in a couple of weeks. I've also started gathering things around the house that we already have that she might need. They say that a minivan full of stuff is about right. Kids that show up with a U-Haul trailer probably have way too much stuff! We also have to change her cell phone number as she'll be in a different city. This may be the excuse the rest of us need to upgrade to Blackberry phones as our cell phone company is having a 'Family special' which includes unlimited long distance calls.
My sister said it's a bittersweet time as her son is also moving away to university (a lot farther). Realistically, it's their first step away from home as young adults. They'll learn a lot, but you wish you could keep them home for longer. Life's inevitable changes...sigh.

I have one son, and the day that I dropped him off at college was a tough one indeed. One day at a time. It was ok. In my case, I was divorced and it meant I then lived alone. Hang in there.
thanks Japra.
Mare, thanks for stopping by, I feel your pain so many years ago. But life goes on, doesn't it?
my daughter is off to college too but only about 30 minutes away in the dorms there--thanks to a lot of school loans unfortunately. I never lived in the dorms so it will be interesting experiencing it through her eyes. As he bf moved their too it should be a bit different to many's experiences.
ha. When i moved it was 7000 miles away...never to return! A very sad day for my mother in particular. She had that feeling and boy was she right!
