The Waiting

I absolutely HATE not knowing what is next.  I am probably one of the most unorganized and scatter minded people you will meet...but I thrive on a plan.

I feel out of control and unstructured.  Just the thought of not being in control of my day-my week-my life.... makes me want to rock in a corner and sing "In The Arms Of An Angel" by Sarah Mclachlan.

What's worse!?  I fear I have passed this trait to my  eight year old son.  I guess it's genetic...

Failure to Launch

A few years ago a movie came out with Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker  called "Failure to Launch."  Basically, McConaughey's character was a 35 year old man still living at his parents home and sleeping in the same bed as he did when he was 6 years old.

Failure to Launch.

As parents our end goal is the launch. The day we drop them off at college...or whatever direction the choose their lift off...

No-that does not make it easy OR unemotional...but, LAUNCHING is still the goal.
