Although Stephen King wrote a great short story by the same title, this is not a review of said story. Adam Boy moved home last Saturday. So did Claire, the dog, cat and bunny….
As we drove to Ypsilanti on Saturday morning to pick up the first load from Adam and Claire’s apartment, the song Home by Phil Phillips came on the radio. Of course it prompted me to pull my notebook and pen from my purse and start penning notes for a post. While the song played, I became anxious for them to move back in. I’ve missed them. I miss all four of my children, but there is a special kinship I have with my Adam Boy. I swear to you he is the only person that “gets” me. Er, my humor anyway.
His sarcastic wit is sharp, and he’s incredibly ambitious. My boy was the one I worried about most when he was young. ADHD ruled him most of his school career. Then a switch turned on his junior of high school and he began to flourish. Clairee, his girlfriend and I call him a snobby genius hipster, but he’s earned the title. When we share words he wows me. Not to worry though, if he gets too snotty I’m not afraid to tell him to stop being an arrogant fuck.
I’m glad Clairee came home to live with us too. No one has questioned us about her moving in. They better not. She is our other daughter and the love of our son’s life. Her mother was my soul sister and since she passed away, Roger Darling and I have loved her as our own. She’s part of the move in package and we are proud to have her. Clair loves our boy. She understands him, which I can assure you is no easy task some days.
Tonight the kids are still getting settled in. The Wonder Schnauzers and Baxter the Wiggle Butt Lab are exhausted from playing outside all evening. All in all it’s been good. I’m sure there will be issues that arise in the next year. There will probably be arguments and messes made. We’ll make it though. The kids will move out when Adam starts law school and the house will be quiet again.
I hope the next empty nest syndrome cycle is shorter, and I won’t be sad when they fly. It will be nice to be able to do the dirty dirty with Roger Darling whenever we want to again.
Hey that’s great news, family is family! Plus you’ll have plenty of new material to work with, haha. 😀
Oh yes I will darlin’.
They look gorgeous!
They really are. I love them so. Thanks honey.
Awe, enjoy this retro lifestyle while you can. 🙂
I will, till they drive me nuts. Giggle.
aww how lovely! 😀
I wish all of you all the best! 😀 x
Thanks babe.
anytime dearest 🙂
its wonderful that you can be there for your son and his girl in their time of need. People sometimes forget that we are parents all the time not just when we want to be.
I still have a 20 year old at home. LOL. But im pretty sure she’ll never move out.
I’ll be a parent till my last breath. It’s the only thing I did right. Sort of anyway.
Must be your daughter loves you B. She doesn’t want to leave. I thin that’s a good thing.
❤
Me too
🙂
I love reading what you write. 🙂
The info about you and Roger Darling doing the dirty dirty, I suppose, should have make me feel…something. However, it made me shake my head first, so I imagine all the feelings fell out my ear.
