What is it about college-aged kids?

 What is it about college-aged kids? I realize that they are similar to what we use to call pre-teens. They are adults. Most are on their own in some small way, but they are still children. My freshman daughter announced last Sunday, while watching her team play in a wild card game, that she was… Continue reading What is it about college-aged kids?

Campus Housing and the Transfer Student

Well, no car and no on campus housing.  What’s a mother to do? I think I may have finally found the solution to Andy’s lack of housing in his transfer from Alfred University to the University of Buffalo.  I have been checking The Buffalo News on Mondays and looking at the various boards the university… Continue reading Campus Housing and the Transfer Student

Entry for December 19, 2005

Well, my house has now shrunk.  I know you are thinking I am crazy but I am not.  I don’t know how I lived in this house with six kids prior to the college-aged kids leaving for college.  Now, when they come home, there is barely room for them.  Thankfully, at least two of them,… Continue reading Entry for December 19, 2005

The Holidays Approach

Well, everyone will be home soon for the holidays.  I would love to get the tree up and the food all bought before any of them get home but I doubt that will happen.  I am working on it, though. I know that I have to get the pilates machine out of the living room. … Continue reading The Holidays Approach
