Our day began by taking a tour of our son's new school. WOW! It was huge, and very nice. I was impressed with their math program. It is very rigorous. Each grade level is responsible for a garden of various vegetable and herbs. They care for it and then eat what they grow. I was extremely happy with it and I am convinced that he will have a successful and fun-filled school year in the fall.
It is ironic...I went from an elementary school tour, to helping my daughter fill out college applications. How is it possible that it is time for my "little girl" to be doing this? I am proud of her in so many ways. She continues to amaze me. She is smart, brave, and "real." My daughter is genuine and she is herself no matter who she is around. She doesn"t change for anyone.
We continued to unpack today. Tonight was the first night we cooked and ate at home. I love the oven. Everyone was pleased with my meal, so that was nice. I think we were all just starving!
Emotionally, they day was mostly "even." We were basically in "work" mode today; however, there were some high and low points.
My daughter and I had MANY laughs while working on collegs aps. My son and I had fun shooting hoops and playing outside. We all "grieve" home in our own way. Whether it's with tears, acting out, quiet, etc...I see it in all of us at different times throughout the day.
We ended up with a visit to Cold Stone Creamery and a movie at home. It was nice.
I'm looking forward to the day when things are completely "normal." I know that will happen once we have met people, are completely unpacked, and have established a routine again.
Until that day, we'll keep pressing on. We'll keep working hard. Most of all, we'll keep loving each other. We will love each other through these difficult times. I already feel us becoming even a tighter unit. I didn't think that was possible, but I guess it was.
I am blessed to live with the three most amazing people on the planet.
