Another School Year

Saturday, August 29th, 2009 @ 1:20 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

We got home late last night/early this morning back from taking The Boy back to college. He was excited to begin his sophomore year and we plan to visit him before too long; so it really didn’t sink in that he was gone for another school year until we got home to a much emptier [...]

No Surprises This Year

Monday, June 29th, 2009 @ 1:05 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

We ended up giving The Boy his birthday presents early this year. We had ordered a 22-inch LCD monitor and a set of powered speakers for his laptop. Unfortunately, the shipment was delivered while California Girl and I were in the pool and the monitor was not packed inside another box. There wasn’t any point [...]

Back to College

Sunday, March 15th, 2009 @ 8:00 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

The Boy has gone back to college. It’s hard to believe but his freshman year is almost over. He’s got midterms starting next week and finals in just over a month. It’s crazy. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were moving him into the dorms. Soon, we will be moving him back home [...]

Grades Are Posted

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 @ 8:40 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

Grades are posted and The Boy did very well in his first semester of college. We were a little bit worried because the first one that was available was his lowest mark; but he got “A”s in all of his other courses including his honors classes. He was a good student in high school but [...]

On His Own

Monday, September 1st, 2008 @ 10:45 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

California Girl and I went to visit The Boy over the long weekend. He’s only been gone for a couple of weeks; but it was still good to see him. He seems to be adjusting well to life on his own. He seemed a lot older and a lot more confident than he was when [...]

Last Pizza Night

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 @ 11:25 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

We had the last pizza night for The Boy today. This time next week, he’ll be college bound. California Girl and I really didn’t think about it until The Girl mentioned that today would be his last family pizza night for awhile. The current phase is ending and a new chapter is about to begin. [...]

It Just Gets Better

Monday, August 11th, 2008 @ 11:30 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

I ordered The Boy a laptop for another company this morning and though that everything was good. Then, when I checked my email after watching the Bengals beat the Packers, I had an email from Dell notifying me that they had shipped my computer and it should be here on Wednesday. So, now I have [...]

Your order is further delayed and we need your permission to… This was the email that greated me when I check my email when I got home on Friday. When your son is leaving for college in less than two weeks discovering that the vendor still can’t ship his laptop after waiting for a month [...]
