chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	So are ther birdies headed back to the nest for the Christmas holidays? What preparations are necessary? Have their rooms been altered in anyway, say a new sewing room for mom? My son was insulted when he moved out to be married and I changed his room to an office. I had to laugh. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

But he doesn't have to know I have plans for that room as soon as it's vacant. Not big plans because I've already seen they're like boomarangs. But plans. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

They are vacant except when the kids are here. We won't make any changes until they get their first jobs in the real world and have their own places. I know about boomerangs. My siblings have a couple of those! _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Pam R. Member Registered: 03/10/06 Posts: 404	One of our bedrooms became an office when one of the girls moved out. The other still has a bed with freshly painted walls (bright yellow...that the other daughter hates!) and a beautiful new bedspread. We recently put our grandbeauty's porter crib in there too. Have to make the changes wherever necessary! Seriously though, both our girls know there is always a bed here for them if it was ever necessary. And yes, I really, really miss them both! _________________________ Pam

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Pam, I imagine that's the way it will be with our home too. The kids will always know they are welcome. Whatever we do to change things on the home-front, can always be changed back. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Jane_Carroll member Registered: 07/06/06 Posts: 1521 Loc: Alabama	I just keep moving to smaller houses...from 4 bedrooms when the girls were home to 3 and now 2 and one of them is an office! It's going to be interesting when my daughter, her husband and baby come for the holidays. I'll take the sleeper sofa but where to put the pack and play (or whatever they call them) is a whole other story! My house is perfect for me and the cat but I'm not sure about 4 and trying to keep the cat away from the baby! LOL I'm still excited! _________________________ Jane Carroll

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Jane, I think you've done the right thing to downsize as needed. Maybe they can put the pack and play in your bedroom with them? You're kind to give them your bedroom. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

dejavu journeyman Registered: 08/16/06 Posts: 319	DD#3 will be home for Christmas break on Tuesday evening. She is bringing a friend and has to go BACK to school on Thursday afternoon as her school's football team is in the championships and has one more game (and she's in the color guard of the band). Then once she returns, she has a job lined up for during break. It's been a rough semester for her - roommate woes, several bad colds, a lot of homesickness. She stuck it out, and is making a few changes to hopefully improve things for next semester, but at least she did okay in her classes and should have all A's & B's. (We'll see!) But I admit, I'll be glad to have her home for a few weeks. _________________________ My website http://www.carolynagosta.com

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Dejavu, aren't you excited? Your mention of her rough semester reminds me that so many people think college is all fun and games. I know they have their share of fun, but I also know they study like dogs and work so hard to get through. I give them lots of credit. I know my three are ready for a break. My daughter told me yesterday that she isn't bringing one book home for the holidays. She gets home Thursday. Our oldest drives 9-10 hours home on Sunday, and our youngest flies home the same day. I have lso much I want to get done before they get here. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Her bedroom is downstairs (we have a ranch house over a daylight basement) so I'm going to make sure it looks welcoming, along with the downstairs bathroom and family room. Since her friend is staying over for 2 nights, they'll probably end up sleeping in the family room anyway (there's a big couch and a futon). Right now, it's clean but no decorations or anything and she wants me to wait until she gets home so she can help decorate. I'll bring down the ornaments and stuff and at least set up the tree (fake) in its stand. Cook stuff she likes. all that. I really do miss her. _________________________ My website http://www.carolynagosta.com
