I'm not going to be a very good empty nester I'm afraid...

Today was Jack's first day of school and boy, was it quiet around here. My house was quiet, my car was quiet, my grocery cart was quiet. I got a lot done, but it was pretty lonely. I missed my little buddies. Jack was such a big man and all smiles when I dropped him off. Luc made my heart swell with pride, when he grabbed Jack by the hand, walked him into the classroom, and introduced him to the teacher. I was nervous that when I picked them up, Jack would be clingy and saying he didn't want to go back, but he was all smiles again and says he can't wait to go again on Wednesday. The teacher said they both did great and Luc seemed much more relaxed having Jack around.

To help with the loneliness I felt today I made a day spa appointment for Wednesday. I'm sure I'll get used to being on my own a lot faster that way, at least that's how I'll explain it to Kenny.

That is so sad. I am going to be the same way when my kids leave. Although it gets crazy at times I still love every second. I am so glad that Luc was so good to Jack. I really can't believe Jack is going to school that is crazy!

That is so special to see Luc and Jack sticking together! I bet your house is quiet now. I have to say I like your coping methods though!
