College applications already?!

The college application process for our eldest daughter began tonight. We met with the college counselor and she outlined the year in terms of when, where and how to apply to college. I am a stand for our daughter and that she and I will be ready for this milestone.

As much as I say that I can’t wait for  our girlz to go to college and enjoy the journey of life, I’m _________(fill in blank) thinking it’s the last year with her here with us. I want to make this last year so terrific that we all have lasting memories.

It’s true that she will get it all done and on time, but as the professional worrier that I am, I must fill my worry bucket with these new worries: driving, time-lines, essays, fees, dates, emails, dances, homework and sports. I know scores of people have done this before me and will do it after me. I welcome any tips and tricks and hugs.

Will you share your pearls of wisdom?

Aloha,

Denise
