Always glad to be linking up with What's Up Wednesday to recap the month! Here we go.....
What we're eating this week........
Monday - slow cooker bbq, roasted potatoes, green beans, and Hawaiian rolls (This is the only meal I'm cooking this week due to no air conditioning in my house).
Tuesday - everyone on their own :)
Wednesday - church
Thursday - out for Mexican
Friday - pizza take out
What I'm remniscing about..........
Where did the time go? These pictures are when Brook was 4 years old.
What I'm loving..............
Any moment I get with Brook before she leaves for college
What we've been up to................
I have been busy with work - a 5K, hospital deliveries, speaking at a school; I also kept my 2 of my great nieces this week, with the help of Brook.
What I'm dreading..............
I am dreading the 10 hour drive back home after we drop off Brook at college. I know it will be okay and I am so excited for her, but will miss her so much.
I realized everything will change, our schedule, the way I cook and even doing laundry. Everything is about to change.
What I'm working on...............
I am working on the checklist for our weekend, packing for college and keeping up with the house in the heat.
What I'm excited about.................
I am trying to get excited about some new opportunities as I become an empty nester. I am going to substitute teach from time to time and keep my greats occassionally as well. I also hope to spend time with friends and travel with my husband.
What I'm watching...................
I am enjoying Chesakpeake Shores this season. I also liked this most recent season of Virgin River. We watched the Thirteen Lives movie on Amazon and thought it was so good. I did a deep dive to watch interviews with the kids.
What I'm listening to..........
I am trying to stay up-to-date on all the podcasts! I really enjoyed the 300th episode of the Big Boo Podcast. I also enjoyed the Dwell podcast last week.
What I'm wearing..........
Lawd, anything to keep cool. We are now on day 12 with no air, but they are suppose to come today, so we continue to wait.
What I'm doing this weekend.............
We are having a gathering of the 4 of us for an early celebration of my husband's birthday next month.
What I'm looking forward to next month...........
I have a work trip and get to see my oldest college daughter for a night!
We will also celebrate my husband's 50th birthday!
What else is new................
There have been farewells to Brook from family members this week
I am going to try to post once next week, but y'all know my track record these days :).
Thank you for your kind words during this transition.
We have a homeschooling friend that just her boy off to college and is now an empty nester; she keeps reminding me to soak up every moment! It's both a sad and exciting time.
ReplyDeleteI know you are enjoying your time with Brooke. She will be far away, won't see? But with technology, it will feel like you're right with her ;). Your grand nieces are so cute. It's great you get to spend time with them.
ReplyDeleteOur drive home from Auburn was ok, but it really starts to hit you that it's just the two of you. When I read your paragraph about everything changing, I was nodding my head in agreement. You would think one person leaving the house wouldn't make that big of an impact, but it really does. I am still adjusting to the quiet evenings and lack of activities on our calendar. Hang in there and safe travels!
ReplyDeleteI hope Brooke has a wonderful year! What cute photos of little girl Brooke! My goodness, how does the time go by like that!?! Praying God gives you all the courage and wisdom you need as you adjust to the nest being empty!!
