They are going up to Maine to stay with an aunt, and she (daughter) has 3 weeks there to find an apartment, daycare for the little man, and get him registered for kindergarten .... AND, she DID find a job (for now). So that's a start.. She finished college (again) - massage therapist (plus has the teaching thing under her belt) -- She'll be fine..
It's going to be a tough day tomorrow as things are actually starting to happen. I'll say my goodbyes tonight - go to work at my normal time (6am) as I don't want to be here when they leave.. This is the first step - the final step will be when the moving truck is here for all their things.. That will be the toughest day.. Not looking forward to it, but it's time for all to get their own space, their schedules, routines.. their lives where they should be. That includes me and the BF..
We had the little guys birthday party yesterday.. It's been raining here every day since April I believe.. Yesterday, was the most perfect day we've had all spring/summer. Not a drop of rain.. all his friends showed up - there had to have been 40-45 people here. Everyone swam in the pool (even though the water is a mere 70 degrees.. brrrr), we had chicken and hot dogs and burgers and corn on the cob and mac salad and potato salad and a bunch of other "odds & ends", the kids (and adults) played games in and out of the water.. it was simply a perfect day! He'll be 5 on July 10, but we wanted to have his party while they were still here so he could have his friends from preschool here, etc. Again -a PERFECT DAY for all!
Need to get back to making dinner...

WOW!!
I can't imagine the emotional roller coaster you are on. I know how good this will be for everyone involved, but I also know how hard this is for you!
So glad you were able to have a perfect day for his party.
Thanks T :)
