KarenG and all,
I am in the same circumstances. Two off to college and one at home, and I am renting an apartment from a nice couple who are giving me a five month lease until the new school year, when I hopefully will place my last child in a new school district. Got hired full time by a hospice and palliative care company and I am starting a new life. Spent the day going through junk shops looking for a kitchen table- and picking up all my pots and pans and such. As much as I am sad to leave the family home, I could not keep it up. Spent the last three years with emergency low well water and in Nov, the septic tank collapsed. I couldn't cut the grass either. That is all I would be doing, and after nursing all day-geez, that's all I can think about these days.
Wish me luck allnurses sibs! Good luck to you too Karen!
