Dispatches from Angst-Land

My kids are so inspiring to me. My oldest daughter is heading off to college in—gosh, only about six more weeks. It hardly seems possible. You hear about empty nest syndrome, but even when you have a couple more birdies at home, it's so hard to let one go. I've lived with Adrienne since I was only a couple of years older than she is. But I'm so proud of her. Do you have a teenager headed off to college this fall? How are you coping?
