Apologies for the long post but I'm feeling a bit thoughtful and introspective today:-
My eldest son was 21 in June - with his birthday money he went on a trip to Boston, New York and Maine with a few friends. He was away for three weks and returned home on Sunday. Had a great time but left us again yesterday to return to University in Glasgow.
My middle son is in his last year at high school and hopes to go to university next year - again through in Glasgow, but at Strathclyde University - he was at an open day through there a couple of weeks ago and it only confirmed for him that this is where he wants to go next year.
This still leaves my daughter at home - she's only 13 so a few more years to go before the nest is completely empty but it got me to thinking. I love my kids and I miss them when they're not here but I also love having the house to myself and Sandy (my hubby). I love not having to shop and cook and clean and iron for everyone. I love it when my eldest son returns home from uni but within a couple of days I could see him far enough! and I suppose these feelings will just be doubled if Jamie goes away too.
Sometimes when I'm reading fics from my fl or entries from your journals I completely feel at home with you all and other times I feel so old!! Some of you talk about things my kids would understand better than I do. I guess life moves on and mostly we adapt to fit but occasionally I so wish I was young again. Sorry for letting loose with my mind-wanderings!

I am so tired I want to be as old as I feel coz that means I get closer to be over with it (all). Wanna have a 23 years old body?


btw.. LJ-CUT because you can..

<'lj-cut text="read more or whatever text you like here"'>
<'lj-cut'>

put here text you want to hide

<'/lj-cut'>

Delete the ' for it to work.
You can write more text before and after the cut that you want to show up. The cuts or the linktext won't show up in the preview, if you don't get an error message like [invalid lj-cut or something] you've prolly done it right.

This is meant to help you.

I'd love to have a 23 year old body! Although as much as I say I'd love to be young again, I'm not sure how well I'd cope with all the emotional turmoil and angst that goes along with it. I don't think I've ever felt that I want it to all be over and, in fact, now that that time is getting increasingly closer, I know I don't - there is so much I want to be here for. I'm sad that you feel that way when, from my perspective, you have your whole life in front of you. I don't know you at all really but you took the time to respond to my post and that means you're nice as far as I'm concerned and from your lj, I can see you have loads of friends and people who care for you and I really enjoy your fic - that's gotta count for quite a lot.
