Moms of Boys

Well, here it is with summer's end drawing near. I hope you have all had a great time with your boys this summer and gearing up for the autumn.  My oldest son, Billy, will be going to college in a week and a half.  A week and a half!!!! Oh, my gosh, it doesn't seem possible. For his graduation, I put together a DVD of still photos and excerpts from videos from the past. I'm really glad I did it, but it was very emotional for me to go back through all of those memories. At least he will be going to college very close by (only 15 minutes) at North Carolina State University. He is so independent and so ready to go, but I know I will miss him terribly. 

The past four months have been a blur as we've been doing all the 'stuff' you do to get set to graduate and to go to college -- It was also a blur because my middle son, David, 15, had a great first year in high school, but he had a really tough Honors World History class second semester; I ended up having to go through some of the stuff with him to help him study. (Just ask me about the Peloponnesian and Persian wars or the Renaissance - ha!) He played summer baseball with his new high school (reassigned to another school after his freshman year -- back to the school that my oldest son went to for one year before he was reassigned - long story). David will be taking Driver's Ed next week. My youngest will be 9 on Monday-- a lot going on.

I've also been battling vertigo lately (get it about 3 times a year), but it's been a lot better the past few days. I hate feeling dizzy! 

Even though I thought in the spring, that summer would not be hectic, it turned out that it definitely has been.
