"Why am i sooo mushy soo early!!!"

just writing this makes me start to cry!!!<silly laugh>
"The kids in Cozumel Mexico on a cruise!"
in 3 days i drive 11 hours to Myrtle Beach with my three kids by myself. Hubby can't go, and even if he could, we have animals so we play switch so they can have good care and we don't have to worry. he gets four or five weeks of vacation a year. when he can go, my eldest watches the animals, but when he can't, the rest of us go. sometimes we all go together but with jobs, this way works perfect for us. when they where younger, we just had dogs and cats and all went together. we invited Wendi's family to our timeshare. getting extra bedrooms so we'd all have our own space. we're doing some of the trip with them, and some with just me and my kids. i'm realy excited BUT. . . . .
Krystina, Kaitlyn and Chris on the carnival!"
i'm also sad,a nd getting worse as the days go by because i know, on the 19th or 20th, just two days after we get back, Krystina and Chris will head 11 hours away from me to Illinois to spend 7 weeks with their dad. i feel sick. i feel like i'm going to throw up. i'm not a mom that spends time alone. i don't realy mind being alone, it's just my kids always are with me. everything i do, are things theylike to do, so we ALWAYS do them together. i know sooo many moms that sooo want their alone time and tahts perfectly fine, but for me, my motto is, "I'll have more then enough alone time when they are grown!" i want to spend all my time with them now.
i don't like sharing them!!!! i don't want to but i will stll have Kaitlyn. Thank God she is adopted!!!! <grins> i worry when they are gone. it's not an inocent small town there. all i can do is pray for a safe return, and they don't give in to presures.Tammy

I'd be mushy, too... I don't blame you at all... but we'll make the best of Myrtle Beach and then my crew will bail in enough time for you to have some special bonding with your kids.
::hugs::

kids are such a HUGE part of our lifes!! can't wait. one day we'll have grandkids to cry over too. <smiles>
i can just see it. i'll be crying because i'm leaving hubby for two weeks, and crying because of the kids soon leaving. i don't know how i'm going to leave hubby for a month in september. i may just have to leave the week we wanted to book New orleans and just drive alll the way back from Texas, see him a week before leaving to daytona and disney. he needs a webcam!!! lol we do have video phones though. <silly smile> i am soo excited you guys are comming. stay as little or as long as you like. i know you know how much time would be perfectfor me and the kids.

I completely understand Tammy!
Even though I have griped and grumbled and yelled that I need to get out of the house to get some peace and quiet (not true but dramatic!) because there's 7 of us and 4 of the children are aged between 17 and 22....
Well, the eldest moved out a few months ago...but he's back!...just for a short while but still...it's nice to have him home. The house felt a bit empty...
....and my husband and I are having a very difficult time with the fact that in 2 years our "baby" will be a teen... I am sooooo ready for grandchildren!!...I figure in 5 years time...jackpot!...or jacquelinepot...whatever...
Tammy...you're not mushy...you're a Mummy...
Your lovely children will be fine and missing you like crazy.
...and I so understand this -
Have a great time at Myrtle Beach (Hi Lioness!)...it sounds wonderful.
warmth...

it's more than obvious even to the casual observer that you absolutely adore your kids! Each and every one of them..
But alas they do grow up, they have to, so that they can come back home and start collecting on their inheritance! Just kidding! LOL
When I left home for college my Mother practically held a "wake" because I was the last to leave home..and not just "home" but the entire state!
Don't feel too badly hon, if (and I irmly believe you have) given them enough love and affection, your kids will always come home to roost..
Yes it's hard as hell to let them fly the coop now, but think how joyous it'll be when they do return to the nest! Your heart and home will forever be their safe harbor!
Great post!
Take care,
Nick

my daughter lived with her dad in Illinois and just moved here with me in september. we had relocated to PA a few years back. i handled that fine, except when she first left. i think it's also hard because before she lived here, i'd just loose my son every summer.so i was only loosing "half" of my kids, but now i have two leaving and only one staying. so i'm loosing over half. <smiles>
