And while I'm mostly ok about it, there is a weird feeling about thinking that all my kids will be mostly gone. Our youngest child has been going to community collage nearby just driving back and forth, but she's planning on transferring to another one, and moving up there, meaning she'd be gone most of the time.
Feels a little, um, weird, thinking about the last of my kids moving away. When the oldest did, it was weird, but I had 2 others at home, so it was ok. When our middle girl left to go off to collage, it was again, weird, but our youngest was still home so I got over it.
But our "baby" is leaving. That's just weird. To not having any kids at home. Its something we've been working towards for a while, raising healthy adults that are confident to be out on their own. But then reality hits, and for the first time in nearly 25 years, we won't have any kids at home. Oh, the two younger ones will be home some for holidays etc, but well, they are moving on to the next chapter in their lives. Guess we will too.
Now, if I could just win the lottery so I could quit working, or maybe way cut back to like one night a work that would be great. Then we could travel, go see interesting things, and be together. That would be really awesome.
Guess I need to start saving up more money and then maybe we could do just that lol.
