Man, my last entry tells the truth about now frickin' hot it is here in Alabama. I was picturing myself today in the Rocky Mountains with the snow coming down. I miss the snow. It seldom snows here in east central Alabama. ::sigh:: At least it is almost my favorite season again, Autumn, and I do love Autumn in Alabama. I am sooooooooooo ready for summer to be over with. I hate the heat. I am sitting inside under the AC and I am still sweatin.'
My son just informed me he will be moving out soon. ::sigh:: I will so miss him, but he is 24 and needs to be out on his own again. The funny thing is, we live in HIS house. I told him we would move, but he said no. He doesn't want to live here because this is the house he shared with his wife when they were married and it brings back too many memories that he would rather forget since she walked out on him. He wants to just sign the house back over to us. We lived here before moving to Colorado. I am not sure he will ever be the same again, but I pray for the Holy Spirit to heal him and his heart. I pray for God to put angels around him to protect him from any evil and harm that might befall him.
I love having him around because he makes me laugh and because he is mine. I so missed him while we lived in Colorado.
At least I still have my Carebear. Since she is only 14, hopefully she will be home for a few more years. She has a wonderful sense of humor also, so she can make me laugh too. And then there is Amy. Amy makes us all laugh with her wonderful wit in her journal, Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice. Don't know what I would do without her. She always knows how to cheer me and just the right thing to say. I owe ya, girlfriend!
The one good thing about son moving out, I can now make the basement into a Den. That will be nice to have the extra room and there will be less mess to clean, as he is a tornado all by himself!!!!!. Maybe the house won't look so cluttered anymore, as I will have more room to put more of my things. He is taking some of the furnishings with him. All of that will be a plus, but I will really miss my son. He will only be living a mile or so down the road with my nephew and a friend. They are all going to be roommates and share expenses. Son is still going to be working with Hubby, so that is good.
The weekends always seem to go by so fast. I try hard to get stuff done. I have been going through closets, boxes, etc. I still have boxes that have never been unpacked and we have been back in Alabama now for 17 months! With me working fulltime now, it doesn't leave a whole lot of time for housework and organizing. We won't even talk about how much needs to be done in the yard and the garage. I am looking forward to the cooler weather. Hopefully, I will feel like doing more when things cool off. I hope my thyroid meds have kicked in by then for my hypothyroidism and I won't feel so run down.
Hope you all are having a great weekend and have a great week ahead too!~
Blessings!~
Susan

Best of luck to your son on his move. It's best he gets away from the memories of his marriage. I hope he can rebuild his life and he has visiting rights to Simba! I never have enought time at weekends to do all I want to do either, I vote for a five day weekend and a two day working week! Agreed?! Jeannette xx
I will be in prayer for your son that he will be doing the right thing and can soon find some happiness. I know you are going to miss him. You will enjoy having more room. I agree it has been really hot here in AL. Hugs, Helen
I think it is a good decision for your son to move out and put some distance between what this house was for him at a happier time in his life. It might really help with his healing, Susan, who knows. And at least he isn't going too far away.
betty

Is your son moving to a different city or just out of the house? You know, I didnt move out of my parents house till i was 27. I bet they thought they would never get rid of me! LOL Im pretty close to my parents though, so deep down, they didnt want me to go even at 27......but it was definately time. Your right, the weekends always go by way to fast! (((hugs))) Ann
having a child move out on their own, even tho we know it is for the good, is hard....but like you say he will not be far away...and I am sure will bop in and out frequently...just another step in our lives we have to travel....God Bless...Hugs from KY...Ora
