My empty nest ...

It's been a quiet couple of weeks since my youngest son, Quinn left for the Air Force ... my nest is empty and I'm not handling it well ... I don't like how empty my little house feels nowadays ... I had NO idea how icky this was going to feel ... how do you stop being a parent?  I mean, I know that I'm still a mom, but everything is different now ... believe me, I'm ROTTEN company right now ... so I stitch ... and stitch ... and stitch ... the UFO pile grows ever higher ... think I need a swift kick ...
