Harder Than I Thought

Yup, we moved daughter #1 into her dorm this week and attended orientation with her on Wednesday. I was fine. It was hot and miserable weather, but otherwise I was OK with it all. It hit me yesterday that she doesn't live at home anymore and I am terribly sad about that! So, I'm adjusting to having one child at home, though she has made herself scarce the last couple of days because she and her friends (all cheerleaders) are preparing for their first games tonight and tomorrow. We will be attending the first football game tonight and it will be both a new experience in having a cheerleader performing and also bittersweet in not having a child in the band. Life changes and moves on and it is harder than I thought...
