Feeling SO relieved!
 

Joel got his stuff out on New Years Eve day and Doug got his yesterday. I am now officially an empty nester! **Doing the happy happy dance**

Yesterday I took down the Christmas decorations, and rearranged my living room; since it was in need after getting Joels big speakers and such out of it.

Today I've started organizing my computer/sewing room.

Just having Joels old room for storage is a major improvement for me!

Greg came home last night and just left again, so he was able to help me with a couple of the heavier things I needed to move around. He said it was a treat to have the house so quiet and "to our selves". ;) He made me promise not to work too hard on reorganizing and said he will help me this weekend when he's home again.

Ahhhhhhhh I gotta say I love this man of mine. :D

How great for you and Greg Tink. Now you'll be able to run around naked if ya want....but please don't tell me if ya want....LOLOLOL I wish I had more room too...but don't think my hubby will move..ha ha ha. I am going to do some reorganizing and see if I can get even more stuff out of here that we don't need. You have me inspired.

I'm an empty nester, but somebody almost always shows up on the weekends. We have a 4-bedroom and it's funny that about the time I convinced the kids that they it's not their bedroom anymore, the g-kids starting claiming them. My problem is that the kids moved out and left some of their stuff. I keep asking my hubby if I can just pull everything out and tell them to come get before the garbage truck comes. He won't let me, because he's the biggest pack rat in the world. Heck, we even have a bucket seat from my oldest daughter's custom van (for my handicapped g-son) setting in the back of a closet FOR 7 YEARS! Well, it does keep the luggage up off the floor!

So funny! Can't have the luggage on the floor now. I know what you mean Sandy..my husband is a pack rat too. I can throw things out during the winter time and when summer gets here..I find it out in his garage. Don't know why he does that. Now I take out my own trash and burn it...I don't want it coming back.

I would love a 4 bedroom, but don't think hubby will let me build on again. I guess 3 should be enough for now, but wish they were a bit bigger. Are we ever satisfied?

I've been cleaning and organizing and am finding a lot of odds and ends each of the kids left behind. So I started a tote for each of them and when I find something I toss it in there. When they come by I send it home with them to do with what they want. I'm not able to store extra stuff here... not with a 2 bedroom house... so am making sure to drive that point home from the start.

Janet gave you great advice, she is a little devil in disguise :D . Oh boy Rick is in for a treat when Rick Jr. moves out.. HOWDY!! lol...


Tink I am glad that you are finally getting some time for yourself and Greg is a keeper. So nice of him to help out. Now is your time to reaquaint yourselves <wink>. Have Fun!

Awwww Tink - this is so wonderful!! Just think, later when the kids come back you will appreciate them there soooo much. A little visit and then ya get to say good bye. It will be soooo great. You breath a little sigh as you wave, turn to hubby and ya both enjoy the quiet evenings.

I'm just thrilled to pieces for you!!

Running around naked is awesome!! Do it all the time, LOL. I admit, it aint purty but I do it. Sorry Janet, you just had to hear that!

Well actually, Greg did suggest that to me just today, but I'll let you wonder what my response was since Janet would rather not know. ;) I love her and don't want to rattle her cage. LOL

Gina you are so funny!! I can honestly tell you....lol NOT GOING TO HAPPEN..:sidesplit: :sidesplit: .ROFLMBO!!!!!

You're funny too! You can tell everyone else....I just won't look...:D You might as well rattle my cage...I can't find the keys to get out...LOLOL...You're loved too girlfriend!!!:)

Ok well Janet, close your eyes...

I told him if he's gonna keep talking like that we're going to have to get some thicker curtains!

:sidesplit: :sidesplit: :sidesplit: Great response!!!!!

Wow, when I left last night all was quiet and still. Now I'm on today and ya'll are talking dirty!!!!!!!
