I have been off the site in awhile. I just wanted to tell everyone a Happy pre- Memorial Day. I will be working that weekend so again I will not be on the site. I did get a wonderful text from my son and DIL on Mother's Day. I wished they would have called instead. Good news my DIL may be here for the summer. She wants to spend time with some friends. She a place already. Maybe I will be able to visit here when she is in Hawaii. She is suppose to get a job with her old employer. Everyone take care and have fun this weekend.

Hi Coach Shelia and welcome!  Congrats on PIR-wasn't it the best seeing the door open? 

Tinker so happy for you that he picked up a little-and what great news for your Sailor and his schooling!

B'snukemom-have a great trip seeing that new school and spending time with your son!

update, My nuke son is halfway through BC, hard to believe.  His twin just got orders for the USS Bainbridge.  He graduates A school 6-6 and then has two weeks leave, he MAY (pray) get to attend his twins PIR before reporting to his ship.  That would be pretty great.

Hi All - welcome to all the new "empty nesters" whose SR's just left for boot camp.  Hang in there ladies it will get (a little) easier over time :)

CoTwinSalors - hopefully he will get to that studying and the test will go well for him next month - fingers crossed - keep us posted!  And I hope things are going well for you too!

It's been nice for us - college son finished his first year and has been back home now for about 2 weeks.  BUT now he's looking to transfer to a college in Oregon.  Here his college is only about 30 minutes away so we get to see him often (and he runs cross country and track and we get to go to all the meets), but the college he is looking at is 16 hours away!  Oh my heart is already aching....college son and I (hubby can't make it) are taking a trip to Oregon at the end of the month to visit the campus and meet with the coach.....

Sailor son is in So. Carolina and will be for at least another year or so finishing up schooling.... We did just see him in April for a few days so that was nice!  And he hopes to come home for leave at Christmas.....I know - it will be here before I know it, but I do miss him :(

We've had crazy HOT weather here in California - yesterday it was over 100 but it's cooling down a bit now - I guess by Friday it's supposed to be down to 78. I just wish the weather would make up its mind!

Hope everyone has a good week :)

My SA left this morning after 10 days of leave. It was sure wonderful to see how much he's grown and the best part was he left his room cleaner than last time ;). He finished A school honor graduate and excited he got the c school he wanted.

 Congrats to you and your SR!  I think you have a great attitude and may already be social and out-going - just need to find the new normal of being an empty-nester!

We are here for each other through ups and downs and all arounds-welcome to Navy 4 Moms!

My son left for MEPS today; bootcamp arrival tomorrow.  I am officially an empty nester.  My husband has been in the Navy 18 years, my daughter is at the Coast Guard Academy, and now my son is the newest sailor in the family.  Bittersweet to be sure.  I'm hoping to learn to be more social, out-going, and even figure out a few hobbies my husband and I can do together.  I am hoping to find some comfort in the company of others who are like me. :0)

The tests did not go well, now he has to study and retake them next month.
Am feeling the empty nest blues this Mother's Day.
