Warning... This is a drive-by posting. I am now caught up and hopefully didn't skim the posts too fast last night as I was falling asleep at the computer. 
It took us 5 hours to pack everything up from Kristin's dorm yesterday. Well, it was already packed; just had to be carted down three flights of stairs and fit carefully into my car. The weather gods were kind to us and the rain held off until we got home last night with my car laden down with her life's important things. I have no earthly idea where they are all going to go in our house this summer! It certainly looks like all the things that were in her room from HS days are still there and there are boxes and suitcases and bins of things that still need to be brought into the house. I just don't know! But what I do know is that she will make those decisions, not me. As long as it is in her room, I don't care.
I am in a very reflective mood this morning. I think possibly since tomorrow is Mother's Day and this year I won't have my Mom to send flowers to or talk to or go see that I am transferring some of that emotion onto other things. Like... I cannot believe Kristin is now a college junior. She is halfway done with her first step away from home and it just does not seem possible. The career path she has chosen will probably take her far away from us for weeks/months at a time. Kathrin is an hour away now and easily accessible if necessary or wanted. But she is also talking about a move if her company opens a branch in a larger city. We are faced with the possibility that neither of our children will be close by, so I see myself through my Mom's eyes I think.
But, before you all think I am sinking into an emotional funk... We have finalized our summer travel plans and they do NOT include a WDW trip. None of us can stand WDW in the summer months. We are headed to Boston in June, the Outer Banks of North Carolina in July and New York City in August. Also in July I have the DC DDA meet and a Yamaha National Music Camp and Concert at Catholic University (also in DC). I am teaching composition and piano full time this summer too. So, not a lot of time for being reflective
I hope to be back on here after I am done teaching this morning and spending time with Bob and Kristin today. Kathrin is coming up for Mother's Day tomorrow so we will all be together. I can't wait! But, please be kind and don't post too much. I am fighting with Kristin for computer time since hers is not unpacked and set up yet.
Enjoy your day, ladies (and gentlemen!).

to those in need. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Here's the description of what we had from allearsnet.com menu:
saved by the bell... and 90210... don't remember Kelly being in the latter though... Although I watched 90210 before SBTB so that might explain it... off to find pictures...
