Too many times.

So. I ask again. Whats really going on.

If you care to share, thats fine. If you care not to, thats fine.

We're here for you.

P.S. I may be way off base here. If so, please forgive me.
Excellent point. I don't think that's what I'm doing (?) I hope I'm actually moving farther away from that AO and morphing into a new and improved one.

I'm all sorts of discombobulated.

I think you sound *gasp* normal.

You're figuring it out, like we all do. I just remind myself "slow down. do the next right thing and stay busy."

I'll never run out of stuff to do...especially chores.

This time of approaching 'empty nest' may push you to changing in ways you didn't expect or even want. But, you may find that you begin to enjoy the peace in your life, even though the actual change is a bit painful.

AO, you sound very smart. Life throws us curve balls, even when we know their coming. Its how we navigate the rough waters that defines our character. You may be discombobulated now, but when the time comes, you will pass with flying colors, I'm sure of it. Millions have gone through it before you, and millions will go through it after you. Its not a unique situation, but its unique to you, correct? I'm sure you will experience mixed emotions, but be the "rock" and set an example to your child. I believe she will respect you for it, and pass it on to the next generation of alphaomega's.

It sounds more like you're combobulating , in the process of becoming combobulated, and you wear it well , now update that site.
