How to deal with an empty nest 101

My nest is now empty for the school year. B moved in with his brother and they started their classes on Aug. 22nd. We took them out to dinner on the 24th for J's birthday and on the 26th I hopped in the car with my hubby and tagged along on his business trip to FL....4 days on the beach....

We've come here 3 times with the kids.





I love love love it here and it was very nice (strange without J and B) but I couldn't wait to get back home! Why you ask??? To meet my brand new beautiful great niece G. She was suppose to arrive the end of September with me by her mommies side but she had her own plans and decided she wanted to have an August birthday...August 27th to be exact.



So now I am spending lots of time with G in her nest :)

Crohns crohns go away, I will not let you spoil this day!!!

So Monday was my birthday and so far I have celebrated for 3 days…YAY Birthday!!!

Sunday: I woke up feeling rather ill but went back to bed and when I woke up again I was feeling better. Hubs and B left very early to go fishing so I went to watch J’s games and finally, FINALLY I got to see him pitch. I was starting to think there was a conspiracy to have him only pitch when I wasn’t there. But not this day…and he didn’t just pitch, he started and pitched 6 innings, and he did very, very well. What’s that??? Why yes of course I took a ton of pictures and sure I’ll post some for you thanks so much for asking!!! This was a GREAT Birthday Gift!!! After the games I went home and Hubs and B took me out to dinner [Hubs had to go out of town on my birthday :( ] JJ wasn’t able to make it…tooooo much work to catch up on. Oh the life of a college baseball player. It was a wonderful dinner at one of my fav. Restaurants, then home to open my gifts, and even though I ended up feeling very ill that night it could not spoil all the best parts of the day…so there Crohns!!!

Monday: My actual birthday…woop!!! J came home and came to B’s game. They won, another great Birthday Gift. Then we went to watch B attend a workout for some college baseball coaches. He did very well and generated some interest. He has participated in several of these workouts with different coaches so hopefully they will lead to some scholarship offers.

Tuesday: Spent the day with my sister…a gift in itself and then went out to dinner with my beautiful niece and her husband.

So who is going to help me celebrate again today??? Come on…you know you want to!!!
