I've been keeping very busy with this cleaning process. Yesterday was closest and drawers. The art room got a good purge, out went all of the childhood craft items like pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, glitter, paint by number kits that never were used. We always had supplies for school projects and I don't see any reason to keep a lot of this stuff. On to the thrift store so someone else can find some use for it all. I guess this is a process many parents go through when their kids go off to school, and it felt good to get organized and cleaned and get a lot of the old dusty toys and stuffed animals put away. I hauled four bags of trash downstairs and six bags of stuff for the thrift store. How can three people really have this much unnecessary stuff!
The above photo is registration day at UNCSA. The building with the long line and the marquee is one of the classrooms for the film school. Wes has a cinematography class in this building from 7pm-11pm, they will watch movies and talk about them. Sign me up for this class! The street is named Hollywood Blvd. and is one of the film school's sets. What a fun place to get an education. She has called home twice, very happy, not wanting to come home just yet, and I am really missing her. My mom and I have been consoling each other on the phone, I am now getting payback for all of the long weeks I stayed away when I was in school I guess. The more I go through with Wesley the more I understand what I put my poor mom through. Maybe now I will have more time to visit her and help her out. As our blogger friend Meredith well knows, you go from caring for your child to caring for your parents. What a strange circle of life.
This blog may become quite wordy with Wes not hear to talk to, maybe I'll do like Sophia's dad, Jim and give you a brief version then a warning to get a cup of tea :) Anyway, my blogger friends, I am happy that you are here. I have noticed some of my favorite blog readings have really slacked off, I hope that after summer it will pick up again, I like my blog fix!
Well, I have rambled on enough for now, I have some errands to do. Next week I start full time in the studio, wow! that will be amazing!! Thanks for stopping by, happy weekend.....

Yes. We have been cleaning our house as well. Filled our porch with furniture etc. to go to the swap at the dump. Our house feels more and more open. Every weekend it's another level. I dunno why my posts don't show up sometimes on ur blog...Any way, you have a real empty nest grl. Mine's just a little more vacant. Good thing you have a million shows this fall! I miss her too.
LOVE those mugs! Change is truly in the air huh?! all good -yes, I'm ready for a bit slower pace when I can peruse MORE blogs and get caught up with my e-homeys.
Well she's off, how exciting, I'll have to check out Wesley's book list for recommendations to read, is she staying in a dorm? New beginnings for both of you.
We've beem cleaning out our cupboards and still some things in the bus, ha, I think the bus multiplies stuff it never seems to get empty.
this post brought me back to the days of when i sent my only child off to college... like Wesley, Danielle didn't go too far from home, but it was still a major adjustment. you seem to be handling it well... there is something about cleaning & sorting that helps many of us get through emotional events.
