More Ramblings

So, Catherine went back to school yesterday. We left at 6:30am, and did not get to the airport until 8:15am. Her flight was suppose to leave at 8:55am. Yes, we cut it a little close. I thought Catherine might learn from that experience that we did need to leave earlier, but, from her comments "Next time I will make my flight leave later", means the lesson I learned was different than the one she did.

Last night, we sent a few text messages back and forth, her from Providence and me from my bed, and she stated that I wasn't sad when she left. Of course there is some sadness. I will and do miss her. I miss all of my girls, even the ones who have been "gone from home" for years now.

I am happiest when they are here.

But, as far as sadness with Catherine leaving, I told her, that to me, for me to be sad, seems selfish. What kind of mom would I be if I wanted her (or any of my girls) to stay here, to keep me company or entertained? Not so good I think. I must be happy that they are capable of being independent, and grown and happy in their own lives. Like the "new" moms, whos blogs I read, I cherished every moment of when they were young and children..........but I also do love knowing that somewhere, they learned to be happy adults. I cherish that as well.

The Olympics. For those of you who know me, you know I am not a great sports enthusiast. My parents watch the Rockets, Astros, Texans, Cowboys, and golf....lots and lots of golf. When I go down to visit, sometimes they try and talk to me about those sports. I don't know names and who does what. I just don't watch sports. I don't HATE them, I just don't watch them.............so.........why is it I am glued to the Olympics, all day, every day, all night, every night. I watch fencing, trampoline, volleyball, track, gymnastics, diving, even "Basketball"! Why is that?

Jessica is taking the GRE test in September. It is the test to get into Grad school. I wish that Jessica knew what I know. She is really really smart. She takes after her dad in that respect. Well, all the girls do really. I may have issues with my Ex, but, he did give them his smart genes.

Jennifer called tonight and said when she was tucking Mia into bed, Mia wanted to know if they were going to GG's tomorrow (GG, that is me), and Jennifer said, "No" not tomorrow, and Mia said " I love her so much".....well, I teared up when Jennifer told me that. I love Mia so much too!

And now you know what happens when:

You don't blog as often as you should

and

you have no one to "think out loud to".

you get an incredibly long and dull blog!
