My Baby's Home

When news of Sandy hitting the east coast started picking up, we decided to scrape some money together to fly my baby home from NY.  It has been absolutely wonderful having him home.  I needed him to be here.  I knew I would be pulling my hair out watching the weather news.  Although I did spend much of my time watching the news, he was beside me...safe.  It's times like this that really makes me wish he would have liked a school closer to home.

I must say though - there is something about his visit that has put me at peace.  I feel as though he has matured a lot in such a short period of time.  When he leaves this time, I will be okay because I know he will be okay.  I have cooked all of his favorites and we have spent a lot of time together.  I am happy.  He said he is so happy that he had a chance to come home, but he is ready to go back.  I am okay with that.

I think I have gotten kind of used to being alone.  I am so off schedule this week and my kitchen stays messy.  Since he left for college, I have not been cooking.  I have been fixing myself something really quickly.  lol  I have not exercised all week.  I am ready to get back on my schedule.  The best of both worlds for me would be Rico going to college close enough to come home whenever he wants.  But, he absolutely loves NY and his freedom to explore.  If he loves it, I love it.  Until Thanksgiving...

* Big shout outs to my family for their continued support.  Without them, this would not have been possible.
