crazy busy week.
OK so here is how the week went. Iam working Mon and Wed mornings teaching. The holiday and our vacations screwed up my teaching schedule so I had extra classes to make up.Allie is now working at Kohls in town and that seems to have all ofus in change as well. Andy is away at reserve drill this next t wo weeks and that is disturbing since He MAY BE GOING TO AFGHANISTAN. He swears he is not able to go but I just have a feeling it is going to more of fight for him not to go than the US Army is wanting to put up with. The clincher of the week was Allies orientation for Immaculata this Friday and Saturday. You know that place.
1. two hours away
2. total strangers
3. drop off the first of three most important items in your entire world- and LEAVE her there
4. for an indefinite amount of time.
5. Grown man sitting next to her in the registars office making chatter about the classes they will have TOGETHER!!!!!
6. Security guards that check those who enter the building where she will live but dont require definitive time went they leave.
Yeah thats the place.
MOm me, Allie and Jack went to college orientation. Allie was reserved, adult, excited but not obviously so. She got her schedule and has scheduled her classes so that the earliest is 8:45 on a Monday. Friday done by 11 am. One night lab for Biology that is over at 10pm. She is an Allied Health Major so she is dorming one building from Science buildings. "Not a far walk mom and we all go together, Ill be fine I promise"
You promise?
Does she realize,
1. I breath when these kids breathe.
2. I break when they break.
3. I would kill, mame and torture anyone that endagered them, with eager delight.
4. That the thought of not having her under my roof when I go to sleep at night is thought that almost stops my breath.
5, The hot tears that flow so easily at the thought Pops first grandchild going to college without his "talk" are tears so hot they burn my cheeks and sting my eyes as they leave the folds.
6. Does she know that I could have ten more children and they will never ever be her, my first baby, my girl that was my pal from the moment she could focus.
7, The only, and I mean only reason I continued to breathe after my surgery was because she told me too.
8. I watched her walk away from me on Friday and thought I would yell, stop,!!!!! I am not ready for this!!!! I was wrong all these years you dont deserve the best the world has to offer, you dont need to spread your wings. Stay with me....
BUT I DIDNT ...
I smiled and watched as the best thing I ever did walked away, smiling, happy and excited.
Just like I told her too. I asked for this, I prayed for them to flourish and want more. well
here it is Suzie they are going. buckle up cause its going to be a bumpy ride.
