Got the Monday morning blues, and the back to school emptiness...... Jake went back to school he looked so grown up on his uniform (no pics too emotional) walking through the school doors bought it all back to me and how i felt. I will miss him lots, miss his company,his hugs and his sense of humour. Though only 11 he is 5'7" but to me he is still 'little'.He strode off confidently to see his friends leaving us to follow on behind with the other parents. The school is very welcoming and are aware how the children are feeling but also how the parents are feeling.......The darling boy's parting words were "wonderful mother could you get my quilt finished for exeat and don't forget more red than blue" aarrgghh!!!!!
So dear reader, back to the fabric shop later this week to buy red, boy like fabric (meaning NO FLOWERS!!) and out with the sewing machine........
in the meantime carry on with my granny squares blanket, start socks,clean house, walk dog, bake, make bread............ not a lot to keep me busy but at least........... NO MORE NAME TAPES TO SEW ON ;->>>>>

Oh dear it's quite horrid when they first go off isn't it?
It seems you send him off to board so it must be a wrench. I've discussed this with you before haven't I?
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you move North again? wouldn't it be loveley if we were close then we could reciprocate in the dog minding?
Can you do all the things like picasa and so on on the Apple Mac?
I am saving for a mac book but its a bit scary.
Thank you very much for visiting my blog and your lovely comment. Looks you will have plenty to do to keep your mind off things - and you might even have the quilt finished before the deadline!
