I'm sure she's gonna be alright, Chrissi. And have lots of fun.

But it's hard, I know.

But after all, this is what we want for our kids, isn't it? To be independent of us.

That's what we bring them up to be. Even though it breaks our motherly hearts.

I've been there myself, and I survived. You will too.

Thank you, Sonja.

It's 11:30PM here and I'm back.
I had a good time when none was expected!

My daughter was really sweet, hugging and kissing me, whispering sweet words into my ear - in front of all her classmates, wow.

When the kids were in the bus, three of us moms stood together and made lots of fun about the teachers and the principal (who is also on this trip). One of the female teachers is a real hottie and we said she's the reason the principal accompanies the trip. Then we pictured the poor man having a hard time not only separating the girls from the boys, but also keeping the male teachers off the hottie.

So I didn't have any time to get sentimental, but had lots of laughs instead.

Oh, I forgot to say: the last time my daughter was on a long school trip, the hottie teacher was also on the same trip and we saw her making out heavily, giving her BF something to remember her by, before she entered the bus.

Children's birthday party today. 7 eight-year-olds in my house.

My life is a zoo.



(But I wouldn't want it any other way )

9:20PM here. In an hour I have to bring my oldest to the bus. She's going on a school trip to Berlin for almost a week.
I'm happy for her, and I know she'll have a blast. I know their program and I'd love to take this trip myself, it's that good.

But she's my baby! Ok, with 15 she's not exaxctly a baby anymore, but still.
I'm such a sissy. I'm already worrying. 

At least I know how to play it cool, even when I'm not. Many years of practice.

And did you manage  to remain cool!?!

enjoy the birthday party!

A course I did. And I didn't even have to pretend, but had a good time instead (see my second post directly under the one you quoted).

Friends, send good vibes to our dear John Gallagher (Aloysius J. Gleek).  He went into the hospital on Thursday to be treated for a leg clot.  I spoke to him this morning, and he sends greetings to all.  He doesn't have his laptop, though, so may not be able to post much except from his iPhone.  I'll be visiting him this afternoon and giving him your good wishes! 

[Sason]

Oh, please wish him all the best and a speedy and total recovery, Meryl!!

Hope he gets home soon.

Holy anticoagulation!  I hope it's not too seirous.  Thanks, Meryl, for sending our wishes.
