Empty Nest

I thought I would be crying in my soup today. Cole started full time kindergarten today. I feel like I'm going through mini-empty nest syndrome. I am searching for my role as some of my identity is changed. But I am surprisingly not crying. God is good and holding me up. Maybe it's because of all the good talks I heard on Saturday. Or the crying I did on Friday, when my husband hugged me and said,"God will keep you busy." So I guess I am waiting for my God to give me direction on what He has in store for me. But I got to tell you a story.

Thursday was Cole's last day off. I told him that I had a dentist appointment and then we could do whatever he wanted to do and go out to eat where he wanted to go. He asks, "Even McDonald's?" I said, "Even McDonald's, or we could see if dad could get off for lunch and go to Stone Soup or Cedar Rock because they have french fries, too." Cole asks, "Do you have any of that left over spaghetti left?" I said that I did. Cole,"Well, then dad can have that and we can go to McDonald's." LOL. McDonald's rates pretty high in this house!
