Yes, it’s that time again – a new list!!!!!
Ten things I didn’t know would be cool about both daughters being gone to college but are (cool, that is):
1. We have guest rooms that don’t involve mattresses on the floor of the rec room.
2. I can walk around in my skeevies and only have to listen to ONE woman going “E-e-e-ew!”
3. For the first time in my fifty-eight years, all the colors in the Crayola box are mine, mine, mine!
4. We can re-design the rec room as a – wait for it – REC ROOM!
5. We can finally put our television through the Gilmore Girls exorcism!
6. Only one laundry day per week.
7. I no longer have to pretend to like the damned cat (although I do still have to feed it).
8. We can dine on one pizza and still have leftovers.
9. I no longer have to pretend to understand homework.
10. We can get out the door five minutes after deciding where to go.

ReplyDeleteGilmore Girls shall continue to haunt you as long as I'm around and since when did you EVER pretend to like the cat? Who are you kidding? But I have to agree that there are advantages to having both kids out of the house:
*Two bathrooms, two people = heaven.
*Electricity bill is going to PLUMMET.
*No "homework nest" taking up the family room.
*Mailbox isn't over-run with college fliers.
*I get the pick of three vehicles to drive.
*Hot water is always available
Don't expect the electric bill to plummet. I think someone at the utilities office has inside information on when our kids leave and they find a way to increase your bill so it stays nearly the same!
