Just started reading your blog, and wondering how I’ve gone this long on the internet without you. I am breathing fresh air and a sigh of relief at the same time.

I’m dropping mine off at college in 6 days. My first born. The one who has pushed every emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual button possible. The one who has given me many sleepless nights. The one who has made me question whether I have any business parenting. The one who first got total hold of my heart in ways I never imagined.
It is, indeed, a rollercoaster, this raising of our offspring. But he’s leaving my house. In 6 days. Our family dynamics will never again be the same. And I am heartbroken. Again. It never ends! Uplifting, eh? But, for the first time ever, over the last couple of weeks, he has said things to me that Ive waited forever to hear. Things like he thinks I’ve been a good mom. That he’s felt loved. That he knows he can count on us when he needs a shoulder (and money!!) He appreciates us, his home, his education up to this point. He apprieciates and understands our sacrificies for him. He appreciates his family.
The DO get it eventually. My heart is still getting stomped on. I’ve come to the realization that from the time the stick turned pink on the pregnancy test that my heart was in for a “no turning back, godirectlytojaildonotpassgo” kind of life. Motherhood. Gotta love it!

Wow. This post made me Feel Feelings about a lot of different things: your situation, remembering what it was like to be in the Angela Chase stage of life, the times I look at the baby and dread the day that she’ll want to stab me repeatedly (because that day WILL COME, oh yes it will). Growing up is HARD. Sometimes I don’t know if it’s harder on the parent or the kid.

I know this was a deep post with some really thoughtful words on parenting, but OMG! My So-Called Life is on Hulu!!!! I know what I’m going to be doing with my free time for the next month of my life!

And that is why Herskowitz & Zwick are geniuses. I could relate to thirtysomething when I was 20 and I bet if I watched it again now that I’m 40 I’d love it just as much but from a different angle. They are awesome.
