You know you are an empty nester when:
-You look for some clean underwear and realize you haven't done laundry in 1 week
-Supper is cereal or whatever is leftover in the fridge
-the dust bunnies are very infrequent because of lack of activity in the home
-or the dust bunnies that are there can't be blamed on my daughter any more
-you can reclaim the extra bathroom in the house as yours
-your college age son visits and asks " so, is this how you spend everynight?"
-you read blogs from young moms and think "it really wasn't that long ago, was it?"
I'm sure there are many more but at the moment these are top of mind. It really is a nice place to be at but rather surreal at times. I have to remember to enjoy the journey :)

Thanks for stopping by!
LOVE this post....reminds me that I really do need to enjoy these days when the kids are little...and still like me! hehe! I can't even imagine them being gone right now, but maybe that's because I know we're not done yet. I think we're crazy sometimes!
i resemble that dust bunny remark:P!
and i was very clean, i don't know what you're talking about...
i don't think the dust bunnies will ever leave my house! seriously.
Sue - you can come to my house any time and clean dust bunnies. Maybe Laura could serve you up some 'sizzlin buns'.
