What a lucky guy to have such a great mom!
I know it was so hard to help my stepson move to Jersey. It just gives you peace of mind to know he is settled and his home has the necessities.
I cant say about retirement but being a nurse and working every other weekend, I often am not sure what day it is! Thank goodness for my calendar. The days, even holidays all seem the same after 21 years of weekends and holidays. But I do think you are onto something with the low iron, I am even more forgetful than usual.

Have a great weekend!

Maria - I've done pretty good taking it lately - probably not enough though.  I'm curious to see what happens on the 6th with the new Dr.

Congrats on the new career.  I hope it turns out to be exactly what you want it to be.

It is hard when the "babies" leave the next.  My DD and I were and still are so close but she has lived away since she left for college.  Doesn't make it any easier.

Price - my daughter went away to college and didn't come home afterwards either.  She lives 3  hours away - and you're right, its not any easier!!  I am a little better with her away than my son, only because she's SO practical and has such a good, level head on her shoulders - my son.. well, not so much.  he'll have to learn as he goes, I know that, but still, its not any easier!!  I'm glad I got the opportunity to come down here, help him out and make myself even poorer... LOL. Job better kick in quick!!

Jody, Congrats on the job!!! Hope it works out and you love it.  Where is it located?

I am an enabling parent also and probably going to be more of an enabler to my DGD's!!!  I have a really hard time saying "NO".

Enjoy your time with your son and have a safe trip home.

Linda - its a "work from home" job with occasional travel for meetings.  Really doesn't get much better than that!  Told Alan he needs to get internet so I can come stay with him during the winter and work from here!

Congrats on the job. I will be praying for you to have a safe journey back. You are a great mother and that is one lucky boy. I can so see me being the same way. Nothing wrong with that. I have applied to DODEA schools on base but haven't heard anything. I think I would love it. I love my current job but it would be nice to get paid more to do the same thing. My daughter just went to high school and son is entering middle school. We could sure use the extra. The older they get the more expensive they are for sure. Guess if it is meant to be it will happen if not my son is with me at school and that means alot. Have a safe journey... take care. Good LUCK!

Nothing tastes as good as this feels!

Thanks Danielle - and I hope you get your new job.  Its a tough market out there... I had a phone call today from a lady with the State of Michigan I met at a job fair in May.  She promised to take a look at my resume and get back with me, which she was doing.  She wants to meet me face-to-face... not really an interview, but more of a resume talk I think.  Unfortunately she's 3 hours away in Lansing.  I'm not ruling ANYTHING out at this point since I haven't signed any papers yet, etc. 

Since I have updated my resumes and she wanted me to send them to her, which I did.  She will mail me her input through the US mail she said, since there are a lot of attachments.  We'll see where it goes.

Kids grow up SO fast.  Its been nice having this time with him, but we both know its time for me to go home - getting back to the "old" ways when we lived together - lol.  which means he's starting to pick on me again.  Its all in fun (and hey - I give it back too)  He's ready to have his space to himself and I can't blame him.  I'll see him next week anyways since he's flying home for 10 days for vacation and I'll be picking him up at the airport.

 Jody,
Congrats on the job offer-seems like your retirement didn't last for very long!  I'm glad you are having a wonderful time with your son and that kind of enabling is OK in my book.  And lots of fun, too.

Unfortunately the "enabling" part comes in the cost of money.  I've pretty much bought him everything he wants (except the TV - I'm holding firm on that one!).  We just finished putting together the futon, found him a good deal on some furniture yesterday, etc.  I went grocery shopping today and stocked his fridge and cupboards... its up to him if he keeps it that way, but I know he won't be needing to eat out.

I figure (hopefully) that its the last time I'll be doing this.  We'll see !!
