And their off!

I'm new to blogging I've wanted to have a go for a while but with working full time and a family it just never happened!  But now, well, with both my sons now flown from the nest - number 2 son went off to Leeds Trinity on Sunday to join number 1 son who's already done one year in Leeds Met. I might have time to do a bit of blogging.  

 

I thought it would have been much harder to let them go but it was actually quite easy, I had prepared myself to let them go - it was time.

 

I think it was the prospect of being able to keep the house tidy and get rid of all the rubbish that filled me with excitement!!  How sad is that?  So when all the clearing up and chucking out process is completed I will be able to wander round my house without tripping over shoes by the door and dirty clothes left on the floor!  Of course, like all Mum's I will miss them but not their mess. I bet there are thousands of Mum's thinking the same thing and already started on the decorating of the bedroom th strewn with rubbish, posters, leftover blu tac and other not quite so delightful things!  (you know what I mean)

 

I guess it's going to be the start of another chapter of life as I know it.  It's interesting how you think differently about life and what it has to offer when you have no children to clear up after. How will I cope adjusting to cooking just for Mr G and me?  I couldn't manage it for three and still ended up cooking for four. With just two of us I can see we will be eating leftovers all week just from one meal!

So the next chapter of 'Life as I Know It' starteth from now.......
