I will survive.
So,I sent a note to my eldest on FAcebook, I tell him about this fancy bit of technology where you can key in a number and low and behold this code connects you with a person, in this case, his mother. I hope he calls soon. It's been three days. He is seventeen, and claims self-reliance, but he is so not. He has been rocketing into adulthood, will all the fun and none of the responsiblities. Try as I might to recall my own dizzy days of 17, it is difficult to be his mom and not pull out all my hair sometimes. And he is my first. I have three more to go. I have 15 more years ahead of me being a parent of teens... non-stop. I will survive... anyone remember that song?
enough of my rant... back my garden... at least I know where that is.

my daughter is 20 and my next oldest is, in his words, 14-almost-15 (he won't be 15 until november LOL). My baby turns 12 in november and then I'll have just a year until he's a teen also. It can be nerve-wracking! but for me the teen years beats the toddler years hands-down. Well, each stage is different and has it's ups and downs. Try not to pull out your hair, you're almost at the finish line with your first baby bird. I can't say it will be any easier with the rest, but I'm hoping it won't hurt so bad when they leave the nest.

Thanks! He came home shortly after with his adultish girlfriend. They ate and then helped with the ivy removal from the side of the house. It was great to see his smiling face. He laughed about his facebook message, but I don't think it'll change his pattern much. He keeps coming home and he still likes it here...
I think it will hurt when they leave the nest, but somedays, a temporary absence is bliss.
