Nest Inspection

Posted Friday, February 15, 2008 9:03 PM

Time to be mother hen and inspect the new little nest my daughter chose as her first place.  She's asked me to meet her/her boyfriend at their soon to be new nest after work while they sign a lease and put down a deposit.  Then she'll be flying the nest & be on her own in 14 days.  They've been very mature and smart since their decision & I'm proud.  I'm sad and emotional, but there's no stopping her so I'm trying to be understanding and won't make her feel guilty or see me upset.  She's not moving because of rebellion, she's just ready to give being grown up a shot.  

They've chosen a duplex (2 bedrooms).  Great price.  One of the better "city" neighborhoods.  2 doors down from a Living Waters church.  A couple of blocks from the hospital.  Probably only 5 mi. away from our house, 3-4 from my work.  So, I can still see her often and I'm sure I will for dinners and laundry.  See.  She still needs me, right? 

I hope I don't burst out in sobs in front of her landlord!  haha  I won't.  But I know that in the car on my way home, I'll be fighting back tears.

re: Nest Inspection

Apartment is cute.  Small but clean and freshly painted.  How to stop myself from being there everyday to check up on her?  lol  I guess I make a personal rule to only visit or stop by when "invited".  It's going to be so difficult.  Seeing her for nearly every single day for 19 years is a tough habit to break!  I'm so going to be a pain in her butt...they'll start turning lights off and locking doors to pretend no one's home!  lol  I'm just kidding, but really - letting go is the most difficult thing I've ever done!

that's so sad, it makes me understand what my mom went through when i left off for college and then moved away, and then got married. your lucky that she's so close to you so that you can still see one another!

About DANGERUSS & MITTENS

My husband calls me Mittens. I adore my husband, girls (19 & 16), our dapple doxie, Niski and spending time with family. I love the D&R board - you can usually find me there. It's a good thing I love D&R since we bought an old farmhouse last year that needs a complete cosmetic makeover. I love decorating & rearrange the furniture every time I clean. Yes, nearly once a week! I also love all things pink & girly. I'm an entrepreneur (wanna-be supermodel, actress, writer and princess - but my wanna-be status changes frequently). I love to blog. :)
