Well,Im now an only child

Son, enjoy the peace

my sister and I got along very well.She was the one who always took me to my baseball games,and I always went to her swim meets.

Its gonna be a lonely year

When our daughter left for college two years ago - it was the same situation. They were / are very close. My son's comment was "Great, now I'll be under the microscope all the time."

Redhead - That's my daughter too! She's always excited to be a queen bee when my son leaves, but by the time he comes home, she's more than willing to share the lovin'!!! It gets to be a little too much attention after a while!

Futurecatcher27, I imagine the parents of kids off the college feel the same way--especially those with "only" children.

Lafmom, Redhead....

This is really spooky, exact same thing my older said to my younger...

Do they teach this comment in school?

Hey Futurecatcher27,
It's nice that the 2 of you have a good relationship. In our house the 3 (1 boy, 2 girls) could fight like cats and dogs. Now that the son is off to college for the first time, I think they may actually start to like and appreciate each other a bit more. It sounds like the two of you are close and that is something to treasure!

How far away is she? How often will you get to see her?

beyond far

she is headed to St.Andrews University.Thats in Scotland.

Hopefully,I am going there over winter break(pending school projects and baseball,work,etc)

futurecatcher27--I think a trip to see your sis is a must--just make sure to take your GOLF CLUBS!!

Are one and only will be off to College in 2 Day's.
He's packing his bag's right now.

He's going to be leaving ME, with the DEMANDING one.
By Myself, That's not FAIR. EH

I was actually thinking about the golf up there.I wonder how much a round is,or if you have to be a member?

Your sister is very lucky to have your support! My son's younger sister goes to almost all of brother's ball games but her brother grouses and complains when he has to attend her annual dance recital or band concert.

Keep reading at the HSBBW,...you may find comfort knowing that others are going through the very same thing. Whats the ol saying? Misery loves company. Go over to the ladies only page and you'll find LOTS of moms who are sending their kids off to school this week,...they will probably have some words of wisedom to make ya feel better! If they dont,..I know they have Great food they are willing to share!!! tee-hee!!!

Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

When my oldest left last year to go off to college my wife and I cried. Her a whole lot more than me but both of us were sad. When he came home this summer we were glad. But we were elated when his butt went back to school a couple of weeks ago! You will miss your sister and you will adapt. You will be glad when she comes home but trust me even happier when she goes back. Good luck future catcher.

Coach May,

LOL - Funny how that works.

This year - he visited for a week and a half before he left for the summer leagues.

He ate everything edible in the house. Everything.

I am glad he left when he did - because I was afraid my dog was going to be on the barbeque grill next.

Are you implying he already got to the cat? heee heeee heeeee snicker snicker!!!
It must be past my bedtime,..forgive my attempt at humor!

Fees at St Andrews range from $20 on up to $100; it depends on which course at what time. You will need someone else to play with. Remember, the courses are proper links....along the sea and lots of rough! It's been about a hundred years since I've been there, but you carried your own clubs then.

Futurecather27 - what an amazing opportunity for her and you. Golfing aside, the history, landscaping etc. is awesome. You have got to do everything in your power to go!

And as shortstop mom said over in the ladies corner we are dealing with alot of that right now. You can visit us over there anytime if you need to.

Coach May - I keep telling myself I'll adapt, but it's gonna take a while.

St. Andrews... on the very long list of places I'd love to play someday...

I have five sisters, and it seems like whenever one of us is gone, things change. Enjoy it, but dont dwell on it.
