A belated Happy Birthday.<br /><br />And NO laughter at the soggy look. I came in with just such a look myself this morning and it was only partly due to rain (dropping peaches and chasing them through mudpuddles, ack), most of my soggy look was due to major major hot flash that left me looking like I'd just showered and put on clothes without drying off!<br /><br />I've read previous post so know that it all ends fairly well. I'm so glad!

Thank you so much! I feel blessed and humbled by what you have to say about me. I'm trying to open up a little more and let the "real me" come through my blog. I feel that a lot of my earlier posts were a little too stiff and formal. I'm glad you relate to my feelings about kids leaving the nest!

You are so sweet to say his smile is like mine. He looks like Brian, but I'll be happy with him having my smile and wavy hair. ;-) Yes, we are very close...both Brian and I have a great relationship with Tim. Like I said to Brian tonight, at least he's leaving on good terms. It's not because he "wants to get the heck out of the house" because of his relationship with us, or that we're kicking him out for some reason.

They do seem to come through with flying colors. I read somewhere just this week... that if we worry too much about how our kids handle things...it shows that we don't have confidence in their ablility to work things out on their own. Maybe he's a little nervous about leaving home.

I know that Tim leaving will be emotional for you, I hope he gets that car fixed and when he figures out how to change the timing belt, please send him my way! Happy Belated Birthday, my friend. I got an alert on my cell phone on Saturday, after I had bought groceries at Trader Joe's that our balance was low! I scrambled to figure out how to get some money in the account since it was the weekend and I made Don drive to the bank immediately!
