So Colin came home from a business trip to Montreal just long enough to get his laundry done before he got on a plane to Rome - sometimes I do wonder why he does bother coming home. All I know is I spent the whole weekend on my own again and I did not enjoy it one bit, so have been feeling a little sorry for myself. Elliot kept me busy though, tis the season for school dances and 18 birthday parties and so I was usually carpooling him from one to the other. He gets his license in about 6 weeks and I am feeling bittersweet about that, great that I will not have to car pool him to his (many) social events, sad that I will not have that cartalk with him whilst he is forced to breath the same air as me, I love that connection with him so much. Great that I will not have to set my alarm to wake up at 10.30pm to go and get him from some event, anxious that I will not be able to even close my eyes at night until I know he is home safe and sound.
Before you know it he will be heading off to college too. Ahh, boys at college now theres a phenomena that keeps me smiling every week. Text from Joe this week "Mum, changing the sheets on my bed and the spare ones you sent are too short - so I am throwing them out -ok" Well first of all I am actually shocked that he is even changing his sheets and of course I was soon screaming down the phone NO don't do it!!! Then for several reasons I had my cell phone by my bed last night and at the ungodly hour of 5.45am it does it supervibrate dance on my nightstand, which woke me up. When I investigated it was a text from Joe stating "Just climbed a mountain and watched the coolest sunrise on the spot where the sun hits the States first in the morning" - wow, could he not have waited until at least 10am to tell me that!!! Although I am thrilled he is having the full on college experience.
So, this sad sad woman whose most exciting event on a Saturday night is writing this blog is going to sign off now and go to bed with the dog - because its the best offer I am going to get tonight!!!
