Exactly one week ago I was just getting home from graduation and getting ready to leave for senior lock up. Since then I have been to Las Vegas and back, sent my baby off into the big old world and am now feeling a taste of the "empty nest" This is truly an exciting yet intimidating chapter I am starting. I almost feel like I am loosing part of my identity, yet I know this is an opportunity to create a new and improved me. To really discover who I am separate of being mom. I've been a mom since I was 17, before I was even out of high school. Now I have 2 adult children both of which have graduated high school without a child. It's going to be an interesting and fun ride.
On a side note, I accomplished one of my "forty while forty" I went to a show in Las Vegas (Michael Jackson One @ The Mandalay Bay. Highly recommended activity and can't wait to see another.
Also, on a "side-note to self" there are some rules about travelling I have learned
1. If you haven't worn your swimsuit in 2 years try it on before you leave
2. Listen to that voice that says you should stop as you drive on by your bank on 3 different occasions to get some cash
3. If you are staying in Las Vegas and on the strip, Frank Sinatra Drive is your friend for the parking garages bar none. And if you are not, still figure out the parking situation before you arrive.
4. If you think you are going to stay somewhere just book a room, don't hope that one will be available
5. Although it is the same distance, it always seems to take much longer to get home than it did to leave especially if you cross time zones
