Well here it is the weekend we take our daughter off to college. She's not finished packing yet, no surprise, but we told her we have to leave by a certain time and she needs to be ready. But of course this is all 2nd to getting together with friends, saying goodbye, attending Seattle Bumbershoot musical festival. In fact we are leaving a day later so she can attend the festival. Then there was the housing, although we found what we wanted, it was more difficult to get finalized.
So it is with excitement and tears that we get ready to pack up the car and figure out what to take. We tried to make a trip to container store and pick out a few things that might make life easier but its so difficult to do without knowing the rooms details. So in a few days, my daughter will start her new life as a student living away from home in a few states away, and we will be worrying that she's ok, happy, and healthy and doing well, as all parents do. I read where one parent went to and amusement park and rode the roller coasters after dropping off her daughter at college. I'm kind of in a mind to do that. Where screaming your brains out, till tears come, can give you some release of all the pent up feelings. Yep that sounds like a good idea but I don't know that there is one anywhere near. Oh well, we'll stop and visit my aunt who is almost 100 for a little bit. She sleeps most of the day but it will be good to see her too.
