These beautiful women will be arriving back in New York soon. My mom and my niece will fly here from Jamaica the very same evening my two children and their friends arrive home from their long weeks at camp (well, it was long for me). After serene summer evenings of just my husband and me, who are just now mastering the art of being footloose and carefree, the house will be jam packed again. But just for a week. Then the college kids go off to school as we settle in for our daughter's final year of high school and college visits and applications this fall. My husband and I are going to enjoy the excessive liberty of this last week before the hordes arrive because very soon, we will be
busy. Not complaining.
And you'll love every minute of it.

And that is just the problem- you get used to it being one way after great and hard adjustment and then it all swings 180 degrees and then...again.
ReplyDeleteI am NOT a person who accepts change easily. Even good change. I wish I was. I hope you are.
Some seriously good genes in your family. Enjoy the quiet and the chaos in turn.
ReplyDeleteMark, probably not every minute, but most of them.
ReplyDeleteMs. Moon, i also do not accept change easily. you saw my handwringing all summer long. but i guess that's life, great and hard adjustments all the time. dang.
Stephanie, i see you over at ms. moon all the time and it's really nice to see you here. thanks for the comment.
Ya know, we wouldn't appreciate one without the other. It's just the way of life and I'm right there with you!
