1. You may want to check with LN, but I thought the age of consent in Kentucky was 18.

2. Make sure you check with the KHSAA regarding eligibility issues. You guys don't want another "issue" like the one a few years ago.

3. I hope this attempt at humor isn't over the top.

Well, we already had four cats in the house, so the addition of a Shi-Poo wasn't going to significantly cramp our traveling style - such as it is - much more.

 

Surely, I'm not the only one to notice the irony here. Surely not.

If if weren't for my dog and volunteer activities, I'd have probably become a pathetic individual.

 

This line reminds me of the following exchange from Caddyshack:

 

Ted Knight: You know, you should play with Dr. Beeper and myself. I mean, he's been club champion for three years running and I'm no slouch myself.

Chevy Chase: Don't sell yourself short Judge, you're a tremendous slouch.

It has been a week and so far, I have the notice the following positive things:

 

Go to bed with a clean house, wake up with a clean house.

 

We can finally watch that high def TV that we bought ourselves for Christmas whenever we want, and watch whatever we want.

 

Food bill has definately gone down.

 

Dinner is easy when you only have to please two people, and if we both work late, picking up food is also easier.

 

Everything is exactly where we left it.

 

Laundry is a snap!

 

Starting to remember that guy as my husband instead of "dad".

 

Getting my carpets clean next week and I know they will stay clean for more than a week.

 

Don't get me wrong, I would turn the clock back if I could and have them little with big messes. I also can't wait to have them all home together at Thanksgiving. However, this empty nest thing isn't all bad!

And.......Cordless phone is fully charged instead of dead under the couch.

 

Remote control is no longer in the couch cushions.

Beech...I will help you through this. Feel free to have "Little (Ok not so little anymore) Jonathan" come spend a weekend with you. :D:D

 

 

I don't know, 5 kids under the age of 13 in my house--empty nest sounds kind of good! :lol:

 

That makes me tired just to think about it! :lol::lol:

 

My parents always seem to be disappointed when I leave. Guess they're wanting a bouncing 40-year-old baby to keep things hoppin' at the homestead.

Do you know as I was reading through this thread I actually thought I would see a post like this from you?!!! :scared::scared::lol::lol:

Perhaps you should change your BGP name to fivetimelover (assuming there are no twins or triplets involved in the count of course).
