Hey, Dig my chicks!

I have a little bit of advice for you for when your son moves into a dorm.
Do not bother buying two sets of sheets, cleaning supplies or anything that requires 'mom' skills. They will not be used.
We moved it back home -all of it unopened.
In a dorm room of three people, what they really needed was space.

And things that he really felt he needed from home- he never used, he was too busy. I told him that before we moved it up there, but he did not listen to me.
Next year he has already agreed that he can live with less.
Less stuff=more space.

That's good advice for all of us. I couldn't believe the amount of unnecessary stuff I got rid of when packing up the house. Where does it all come from?

Bet you're enjoying having your DS back home!
 
I think we are all still recalibrating.
After a year on the top bunk in the tiny dorm, he is really enjoying his own bed again. and having his own bathroom.
After a week trying to sleep in hotels, my husband and I are still trying to catch up as well.

The entire time I kept thinking of you sleeping on an air mattress, driving the same distance we drove, and you still hit the ground running.
I am drinking coffee all day and trying desperately to force myself to get back into my routine, but it does not appear to be happening.
This is the first real vacation we have ever had. My husband is a sweet man but not adventurous and happy in his rut.
I might have missed my window for travel. I am not as adaptable as I used to be.
You are

worthy! One day I hope to be adventurous.

How are you doing? Do you get days off?
Have you unpacked the boxes?
Can you find the stuff you are looking for?
 
Ah Eggsy, we are never too old to do stuff - my parents came out to Kenya till they were 80! Carpe diem!
 
3ge, I can relate to your husband's rut. About my relationship with the Princess I always say, "Without her I would be mired in mud up to my knees and without me she would be floating in the Stratosphere. Together we float about 6 " above reality." If he doesn't want to travel, go without him. I know the Princess would.

Chris, about that '80' year mark, it's not that far away for me. Just hoping that I keep rolling on.

I agree with your sentiments, Sour. My mum went to New Zealand to visit my sister when she was about 60 - never travelled so far, or alone. My father refused, but she did it, and loved it.

6 inches sounds about right,:) btw

Don't worry Sour, you will be rolling after many of us can roll no longer!

I am not so sure I won't fall in love with where I go and not want to return.

I doubt he would follow, so... best not tempt the wanderlust.

Never - people are the most important - just good to get out of ones comfort zone and see a little bit of the world, that's all. Makes one appreciate home and loved ones even more! Believe me, I know.
