So, today was the big day!!! Little brother went off to college... all by himself... five hours away He came to have breakfast with me on my break at work since I had to be there at 3am and he had to leave before I would get home. He was telling me a story about how he and his 'semi-girlfriend/prom date' went out to lunch yesteday and how she was crying, so being the amazingly strong big sis/ mom figure in his life I waited till he drove out of the parking lot and then I had my breakdown... Needless to say, the whole talk I had with myself about not becoming a big crying mess at work didn't work But the people I work with were great!! My 'work hubby' (long story for a later date) gave me a big hug... and the girls I usually break with waited for me to come back from breakfast to make sure I was ok... sweeties!! Anyway, he called 3 times on the five hour drive there... I am guessing he was a little nervous but I haven't got a call in about 5 hours so I guess he might have met the roommates and is having some FUN!!So, as glad as I am to be rid of his teenage hormones and attitude, the down side is that now I have to take out the trash... not that he ever did it without an argument anyway... Oh, and I will REALLY MISS HIM!!!!! *Says to herself* This is a good thing for him, and he is a big boy now, and you have taught him well, he will be OK, I hope Sigh, Viv
