Our house is extremely quiet tonight. The pace has slowed way down. Annie had been home since Thursday evening and she headed back to college this evening.
I miss my girl. She is so easy to be with. So fun to be around. She makes me smile. She makes me laugh. She is amazing. I am so thankful that we are heading into Christmas break. I can't wait.
When I was at the grocery store I was looking at the lotion. I saw the Jergens and remembered my Grandma Ada used Jergens. I smelled the original Cherry Almond scent. It was an entirely different looking bottle than I remember sitting in her kitchen but holy cow! It smelled exactly. the. same. Immediately, I was taken back to when I was six years old and would put that lotion from the black and white bottle on my hands.
I feel like that Jergens lotion. The same on the inside but everything is different on the outside. What does that say about my Psyche? OK. Don't tell me because I don't want to know.
You know what? I was not the mom who was excited for my kids to grow up and move away. Nope. That was never me. Why then, am I the mom who has the kids who have moved away?
