Good and bad feelings at the moment. I enjoy my quiet time so much so it's not just the fact that Tyler is home, but all of his friends have come home from their colleges as well. Tyler is high maintenance in that we are just alike. We both like to have the last word, but since I am the parent, I feel that I should have the last word. He also feels like he should have the freedom he had in college. We went through this last year, but I was too tired to deal with it, even though we tried, but this summer he will have to know that our home will not be the hangout. He is 20 years old and that is too old to have "slumber parties". My husband and I have decided that we can't go through another summer like that. He is really a good kid. He doesn't drink, smoke, take drugs, etc. He is my computer geek and loves to hang out with his friends that he has known for years and they are all good kids as well, I just am used to my empty nest!!! The main place that they hang out at is a gaming place about 2 minutes from my house, so that makes our house convenient for spending the night, eating snacks, cooking (and not cleaning up!)
I lost my job about a month ago and am trying to find another job as quickly as possible. But I also have my older son getting married and this seems like a good time to take care of some of those last minute things as well as take care of myself. My boss, while he was really a "fun" person to work for, he really drained me mainly due to his drama and the fact that I was working a job that just wasn't "my cup of tea" and I could actually do my job in about 2 hours, so the rest of the day was busy work.
I just needed to vent for a few minutes. I am really glad that he and all of his friends are home safely, I just need go get in my pjs and go watch HGTV and zone out for awhile! My thoughts and emotions are all over the place! My older son is graduating tomorrow, but we are going to watch is fiance' graduate from nursing school instead. I wasn't relishing the idea of sitting for 4 hours (at least) to listen for my son's name to be called out. My mother-in-law has already attempted to make me feel guilty since she was so proud when her son (my hubby) graduated, which I was there as well, but he graduated from a small college and it was only about 60 people. There will be about 3500 tomorrow. I explained very nicely that I was already proud as punch that he finished school and whether he walks or not, he will still have that diploma! I know everyone has their own opinion about that milestone and we let our son decide what he wanted to do. He will have his cap and gown, so we will still get pictures and he will still get presents. LOL!
As ya'll can see, I am rambling, so I better close this novel for now!
Hugs and nite to all!

PS My hubby is sure that now that my son is home, I will be more anxious to find a job! LOL!
