Mom on the Run
I have moved the postcard probably 100 times. It normally lies on the kitchen table, but because we’ve had company over recently – high school graduation brings out friends and family – it’s been moved around to make room for visitors and food. I’ve brought it back to the kitchen table, though, front and center, because it’s important, and has a deadline, and I didn’t want to find it too late.
Now, finally, graduation has come and gone, and it’s time to focus on college. I have memorized my son’s move-in date: August 23. That seems far in the future, but I know how quickly the summer will go. As it’s my second child leaving for college, I also know that there are lots of things due to the school between now and then. I haven’t been paying much attention, I wanted to get through graduation first, but there’s no more avoiding it.
