Thanks Shortstopmom it's nice to know I have someplace to go and vent. The husband is just too male and doesn't always get what I'm trying to say or the way I feel. And most of my sons friends have stayed pretty close to home for College so none the other moms are really going through the same kind of emotions or feelings.
By the way - if we need a chocolate fix I make "The best **** toffee" - (that is the actual name of it). Please add that to the buffet of goodies you all have here. It might not go with some of the smoothies though! But it might go with a mudslide!
edit - I didn't mean to swear and had no idea that it would automatically turn to ****. That's a great trick!
