My suitcase is packed--officially. I crammed two weeks worth of clothing into my medium bag because G hasn't replaced his giant suitcase with the broken wheel and took my big bag instead. I'd call him a dick for that, but the man is a saint. A saint who steals suitcases. Anyway--I had to make some tough cuts with my shoes. I have two pair of flats, two pair of heels, one pair of flip flops, work out sneakers, and my bitch boots. I think I'm set. But, because I am taking the boots (have to take the boots to Paris!), I am only bringing one purse.
Pretend you understand why that matters.
I realize I could bring two suitcases, but I hate traveling with too much stuff. <--lol
So littlegirl moved into her dorm on Saturday and I am struggling with my empty nest. I swore I wouldn't. I lied. I miss her so much and it's only been two days. Thank God I'm going with G. He's working & I'm writing--but with better scenery. Otherwise I'd be lurking behind the bushes at her new school and I'm told that isn't cool. When BigGirl went away to school at 15, I used to drive to her field hockey practices and watch her from the car. I cried a lot. It's very difficult to send your child away to school, despite what anyone thinks, but I know this is good for littlegirl and she's so damn excited. She deserves this opportunity without me creeping on her from the car. (Also there's plenty of time for that in October).
I'll see her as soon as I get home. I can't wait. Until that time, we have skype.
September's to-do list: Finish Simple Gifts for Musa.
Please have a safe week--enjoy your kids, your spouses, your friends and family. I'll be back.
I'll probably have a new purse.
