Dorm Check

Yesterday was the day I hate. My daughter went back to college. I knew she was ready. I knew she was excited. And while I am excited for her adventures I am never ready to watch my children leave my house.

Since my daughter is in a dorm with a community kitchenette we discussed buying her dishes and things she will need. However, we decided to wait for most of the bigger items since there are a total of 4 roommates sharing the space. After all there is no need for them to have 4 toasters or 24 place settings for dishes.

We came home from camping, quickly cleaned the mud off my Jeep and loaded up her stuff to go. I quickly became aware that my daughter and husband didn't care how the stuff came home from college in spring as long as it made it home. We looked like a redneck bunch of hillbillies moving into the dorms from good o country living. Many families had all sorts of organized totes and boxes. Not us. We unloaded one thirty one bag or Wal-mart sack at a time.
