It's Friday......and it's time to load the passengers. Regulars of course...and hopefully some newbies along the way. Who is coming? I need a head count. NOPE!!!!! I will not smoke today since it's shark week, let's make it a shark train

Lol. Marti. Probably more than likely because I had 2 kids by the time I reached 20 My friends were off at college having fun and I was busy changing diapers, going to school and scraping money up for rent. It was never "my time". So, now it is. I never wanted to be that parent that waits around for their kids to call or drop in. I want my kids calling me saying. "Mom...are you free Saturday?" Lol. I love my kids but while they are off living their lives..I plan to do the same. That just makes the time we do spend together that much more precious and appreciated.

i did all that stuff you guys mention....for 27 years in a row!! I played the role of both the mother and many times, the father too (sports, activities, coaching sports in had no business coaching) I'm done now.... :) and I love it haha I have great memories of my kids growing up and I can say I really never took it for granted..always appreciated that some day they will grow up and move out and my house will be quiet. Maybe that's why I am handling this empty nest thing well. I have the memories....I don't need them in real time. It's time to make new memories now :)

chrispy...i feel ya... and to make you more anxious....these 4 years will fly! I was so brave when my other 2 grew up and moved out...but my youngest?? that' was tough less than 2 months ago I watched him walk down the aisle to get his diploma...and now i"m looking at pics on facebook trying to pick my kid out of a group of 100 soldiers in training while he attends boot camp this house is way too quiet There are perks...privacy..nobody using my car, food bill, electric bill, car insurance, haha......and I'm getting used to the quiet. I look at it as a new chapter in my life. Different....yes...but doesn't mean it's a bad thing. An adventure. What will happen next?? who knows :) excited to find out

awesome sarge!

excellent job andrew!!! You made it!! congratulations on 1 year of smobriety!!

Nice to see you bug. I just want to see more people escape the slavery of nicotine addiction. I honestly don't care how they get there....as long as they get there. :)

Welcome to the Quit Train Renee!! Happy to have you here. Congrats to you on 3 months quit! :)

you never know what suffering goes on inside a person. Many times it's the guy/girl who is funny and seems so happy. RIP Robin! Mrs. Doubtfire....the best. :)

my step father is from new zealand. He and my mother have been married for over 20 years and they still don't go in the bathroom when the other is in there...ever. I think that's cool..... Some things should just stay private.
