Subject: Roll Call.......... Author: Kimmy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01:08:46 05/14/02 Tue It seems forever since anyone has posted here. Not to slight the few that have been posting either. LOL Lets see how many we can get to answer to this post. Give a little info on what they have been up to. Okay, I'll start..... My youngest little baby bird is going to graduate from High School on this Sunday!!!! I'm trying to deal with all the feelings that go with this moment. Like when I first brought him home from the hospital and all the living that goes on in between then and now. All the stepping stones, life lessons and wonderful accomplishments he has done. I have two sons, our oldest graduated 2 years ago, living out on his own and doing great. It was so hard to let him go. Now, the last and youngest is fixing to do the same. You know you tell yourself, as a parent, "I can't wait to get them raised." But, when that moment comes, it is the last thing you really want to happen. I'm just trying to keep my head above the water and the water being all these emotions. Just stay busy, just keep your head down and it will all be okay! I know it will, I really know it will. So how about everyone else? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Roll Call.......... Author: Pam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:16:25 05/14/02 Tue I know the feeling! It was easier for me, I think, because my son spent two years living out of state with his dad after high school. I missed him when he left, but it wasn't too bad because he was still with a parent. Now he's back here, and lived with us for about 7 months until the beginning of April when he and his girlfriend got a house. He only lives 5 blocks from here, and I see him a couple of times a week, so it's not bad at all. And I have a spare room now that's been turned into the video game room. Though I do miss playing games on the big tv in the living room. LOL. Pam

Anyways, just checking out the place. I can't believe it's the end of the Hearth. Another forum I hung out at became a paid site, so now what am I going to do? Maybe get reacquainted with family and friends, ha! What have I been up to? Just gestating. :D I'm 30 weeks today. The 10 week countdown starts! I'm totally exhausted, though -- not getting enough sleep. I'll try to stop by tomorrow. :D

[> [> Subject: A very warm welcome..... Author: Kimmy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:09:26 05/14/02 Tue Hi Tricia! I so sad to see the hearth end. Thank you for you warm and kind words to me. It means alot. Flowers! Lets talk flowers! I need at least a week to get my yard where it needs to be. Planted some wavying petunias and then thanks to Kansas weather,they were pounding into the dirt, but good! I'm hoping they will come out of it and be just fine, have to wait and see on that one. I love getting out in the dirt and planting flowers. I'm not a veggie garden type, but you say flowers, I'm there. :-) Replanted a bunch of creeping phlox around my trees. They took quite a beating this winter and I'm hoping they take off where I transplanted them. My irises are all in bloom and so are my peonies. My lilac bush is in full bloom and outside my front door smells like heaven. I love this time of year, but fall is a big fav of mine too. What kinds of flowers do you have in your flower beds?
