Oppo, I’m exhausted. On Saturday at 0 dark-thirty, I drove my 4th and final child, my car packed with all the worldly belongings she thought she’d need, to her first year of college. It’s roughly a 5-ish hour drive from San Diego to San Luis Obispo. What with all the packing in, getting unpacked, and last minute Target/etc run to get the few remaining bits we forgot before we left, I didn’t get home until well after midnight on Sunday morning. So, after over 21 years of child rearing and sending the first off to Cal 2 years ago, two of his sisters off to Brandeis and UC Davis respectively, and this final canon shot up to the Central Coast, we are (for now) finally (for now) EMPTY mutherluvin’ NESTERS (for now). So, yeah ... I’m exhausted.

Congrats! I dream of being in your position one day.
Have you run around your house naked yet? Because, in 15 years, that's going to be the first thing I do. NEKKID TIME.

Just wait until they are out of school for 2 years and then they need to move back home because they quit their job and want to go back to school.
Speaking from experience... I’m the kid who had to move back in though, so enjoy it while it lasts!

Maybe tonight! I was just too damn tired to do anything more strenuous than watch football yesterday. And I did most of that with my eyes closed.

THAT is why that last sentence about claiming to be an empty nester is such a qualified one ;)

Wow. Good work, Dad. Mine are 11, 11 and 14. We’re finishing elementary and middle school (round one) this year. I will have three in college at the same time for one year. Not sure how that’s going to work out yet. I think I’m looking forward to the empty nest. I’m just afraid that Mrs. Ttyymmnna and I will be to old to enjoy it.

Hey, that’s here! SLO just grew by about 25,000 people, it’s palpable when school comes back. There are worse places to go to school. Congratulations on your newfound freedom!

Doesn’t the town basically double in size when school is in session?

Not quite, but it sure feels like it.

Congrats on the milestone!
I can't imagine the expense of having four kids in college at the same time though.
