It's feel so strange going from a household of 8 and now down to 5 with 2 almost ready to leave.  My youngest just started high school. I imagine 4 more years and it will be just me.
Won't you enjoy less chaos?
Definitely, you have a good point there.  I love my peaceful moments.  I just have very brief moments when I think of them all at home.
The kids can always visit you.
Indeed they do, It was just my youngest daughter and I for about a year.  My son and daughter have come back for a spell to get a break from adulting.  They wasn't ready!
