 Do You Feel Lucky Punk?

Location: NM...the Land of Manana | My kid moved out yesterday and I am already feeling lost. I really lost it last night when her old dog went wandering back to her bedroom and stood in the middle of her empty room looking all confused, poor Rowdy! The really sad part is, she only moved across town, lol! I guess it will just take some getting used to, but it feels like she took my heart with her. |

| I'm sorry, Mama. Don't worry. She'll be back for laundry, a decent meal, a hug. xoxo
Here's part of a song I wrote for my daughter about this subject;
Today I found, a catepillar in the grass. I'll keep her safe in my little drinking glass, just like me some day she'll grow...her own wings and then she'll go. |

That's probably the hardest part. Finding something to fill your time. More riding? |

both of children live somewhere else now. Our upstairs has 2 rooms that were their bedrooms. I need to clean them up & do something with them, but I go up there pick up a thing or two & it makes me so sad I just come back down & close the door |

Yes definitely, I have a 5yo I have raised and since I broke him he has just kinda been hanging out waiting for the next level. Plus I have taken up jogging again and my house is in need of a makeover, so I think I will just have to keep myself real busy for a while. |

Yeah, after I get it cleaned up and painted, I will just have to keep the door shut! |

Location: ohio-in my own little world with pretty ponies :) | My mom and dad know how you feel. I just moved out of my parents house. They got a puppy(I took all the dogs) and they kinda fill the void with him lol. They do everything with him and buy him toys and treat him like their child. BUT I find them at my house quite often and my mom calls me ALOT! But I understand. |
