I NEED A NEW PLAYLIST
It’s Friday and Taylor will not be home for the weekend.
I’m fine with that, though it would have been nice to see her. The problem is we haven’t spoken since Tuesday and that is as much if not more my fault than it is hers. In fact it’s ninety-nine percent my fault.

A DAY WITHOUT WHINE
Freshman Mom spends a lot of time whining…or if not whining declaring things that may not be going according to her plans, or things that she could/would fix and sometimes she just tells it as she sees it. But since we all see things differently maybe her way isn’t always other’s truth, but for many it’s close enough.

LESSONS TO BE LEARNED BY MOMS TOO! I’M SORRY……
I could completely delete this morning’s posting. It would take two seconds and I thought about doing it. Though it took me an hour to write and by not doing so there are several lessons to be learned, a few for me and perhaps other parents. And despite what the professor thinks, little did he know he would become a major player in this blog I can admit when I am wrong. And since it looks like we are wrong here in one respect I want to publicly apologize to Taylor as I publicly lambasted her for something it looks like she did not do.

FREEDOM IS JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR BEING A PAIN IN THE ASS?
Well, well, well, here we are…I wasn’t going to blog today as I figured if I did I might end up saying things I would regret. But the last twelve hours have left me little choice. If this is going to be real then it has to be real and real isn’t always pretty.

CHHHANGES
In Lynnda’s evaluation of my DREAM yesterday she felt perhaps I was becoming reluctant to share such a personal time in my life. I feel all times in one’s life are personal to degree, though I understand what she means. But I have sort of taken to making a career of sharing the personal and making films and writing about what others often times fear to admit.

DREAM
Last night I had my first dream about Taylor since she left for college. I might have had others but I take Klonopan to sleep and I tend to forget a lot of them. I actually at this stage forget a lot of things without the Klonapan. Though one thing I NEVER forget is to take the Klonpan.

FOURTH GRADE MOM
While I have been talking a lot on this blog about being a Freshman Mom– after all, the blog is called FRESHMAN MOM– the thing I have left out is I am also blessed and I truly mean blessed to be a fourth grade mom as well. One of the great things [...]

THE PUFFINS TRAIL
Well, it has been five days since leaving Taylor in Boston. People keep checking in to ask how I’m holding up. Without question the first night was the hardest. And people have told me the feelings come and go at the oddest times. Activity being the best revenge, I was so busy for the first [...]

THINGS I’VE NEVER DONE BEFORE
I wasn’t going to write tonight as well, I’m feeling beyond sad and not too funny. But so many of you have written in and asked how it all went I feel obliged to continue what I started even though I would rather go hide under Taylor’s duvet and lock myself in her room and cry.

NEWS FROM THE FRONT
We are here safely, settled into our room at The Taj which is two blocks from Tay’s school. We are in a lovely room over looking The Commons that is so packed with bags from Bed Bath And Beyond it looks like their warehouse. We climb over printers and pillows and bags groaning with linens to get to the bathroom.
