My daughter (Jessi) got all four of her wisdom teeth taken out Thursday. She is having a hard time with it. Her face swelled up, and she is in pain. We were hoping by now she would be better as she starts college tomorrow. Her pain is getting a lot better but she wants the swelling to go down. Her oral surgeon said it can last for several days. We didn't have a choice to get them taken out. They were impacted and causing her a lot of pain.

Anyway, that's my post for the day. Have to go to her college this afternoon for family day for the day before the kids start.  Jessi said she is going to go no matter how she feels so we shall see. She hasn't woken up yet so I am hoping a lot of her swelling went down during the night.

Back again and going down the lonely road

Okay - I am back to posting after what, years?  I am now 49 years old and my daughter is 18 and starting her first year of college in 2 weeks. I will have to rename this blog to the 50's life real soon.

I am having a very hard time with my youngest growing up. We are so so so close and thankfully she is staying home for now, as her college is only a 20 minute drive. She may end up changing her mind later on but for now.....

She is majoring in biology and concentrating on zoology. She is a huge animal lover and that is not even getting close to it. She will do amazing in whatever she goes into after college. She graduated from high school with a 3.9 GPA and is an amazing young lady. She went through her school years without getting into trouble one time. Isn't that amazing??  I know she is not perfect, but still I could not ask for a better child.

 I work at home still thankfully. I am a freelance writer who works a lot of hours but well worth it. Now that my daughter is hardly ever home, my husband working, and my other two kids out on their own, I am finding myself more alone than ever.  I am a shy person who does not make friends easily. I moved to TN when I was 20 from Illinois, which is where I grew up. It is much harder to make friends when you become an adult. Now that I am alone I need to make some but how?  I will have to figure this out, or I will be by myself more than ever. Well, that is it for today. I am so sorry that I stopped blogging but I will keep up with this blog a lot from now on. If any of you have children in college please let me know how you handled it.
