Menopause Treatment
The empty nest is suddenly approaching – menopause treatment.How will I feel? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? The answer is in the Teddy Bear Store; menopause treatment. Menopause treatment: my daughter just turned 21.My son is 16 1/2. Menopause treatment: i am 54. Menopause treatment: hmmmm.Are they old or am I? I guess it depends on your point of view; menopause treatment. Menopause treatment: but no matter what my age the empty nest syndrome is quickly approaching. Menopause treatment: i have had to start thinking about the empty house in my future.How will I feel when their bedrooms are empty and devoid of the sounds of life of the ones so precious to me, no matter how annoying a few of those sounds are?…Their faces won’t be readily available to kiss, or their bodies always there to hug everyday – menopause treatment.Or when I no longer HAVE to get up or stay awake for them, or work my day around pickups???..the list is endless – menopause treatment.How will my heart feel when I am no longer needed in that way?? And of course there is also how I will feel about the empty nest when I no longer have to pick up the endless crap around the house and scream that I am not a servant! When I no longer have to argue about grades and responsibility and impress upon them that I am not a servant and or doormat. Menopause treatment: is that a good thing or a bad thing? It could go both ways, I guess.However since the prices of apartments in Los Angeles are so astronomical how can a young person afford to strike out on their own? Perhaps we will end up like the Walton’s and the house will be filled with our kids and the grandkids and me and my husband and all the doggies and fishies. Menopause treatment: my husband and I will just take a lot of trips.And this too could be a good thing or a bad thing.It could go both ways.Anyway I digress – menopause treatment.My daughter is turning 21 and my son wants to get her something for her birthday and he is having a terrible time at the mall deciding – menopause treatment.Boy I hate that.Malls, teenage boys and tough shopping decisions; menopause treatment.How will I feel about not having to do THIS anymore? Well, we passed one of those teddy bear stores and his shopping block ended – menopause treatment.You know…the stores where you pick a bear, they stuff it, put a heart in it and it is born? You get a birth certificate, you name it and pick a stunning wardrobe for it, and lots of other stuff, so by the time you are out of there you have created a bear that only Donald Trump could afford for his daughter; menopause treatment.Well I watched my 6.1 ft 16 year old son pick out the bear with great care, and even the panties (about $5 for those and I don’t even spend that on my own panties!) – menopause treatment.And suddenly I saw him, with complete ease and a little gleam in is eye, turn around and jump up and down and do an entire routine, usually done only by 4 year olds, to bring the newly stuffed bear’s heart to life! That memory was instantly stamped into my brain and heart, and will live there forever and ever; menopause treatment.THIS is what I will miss – menopause treatment.These unforgettable moments; menopause treatment.Not just the daily give and take, kissing and yelling, but this…these unexpected, unrepeatable delightful moments – menopause treatment. Menopause treatment: so even though my children are slipping away because they are maturing so fast (and that is a good thing) and will not need me in the same way (if I’ve done my job properly) they are, and will forever be, in my heart.All that they were as children and all that they are becoming are there in plain sight for me.The big memories like this or the little ones. Menopause treatment: i may have forgotten a lot at this age and I may forget more (I like to blame it on menopause not age) but there are some memories that stick like Elmer’s.My son’s happiness when doing something special for his sister will stick. Menopause treatment: enough will stick. Menopause treatment: my heart is the real home where my children will always be no matter where they happen to live. Menopause treatment: i think those kind of memories rest in your heart, not your brain, because that is where they will be safe.I may have an empty nest menopause treatment, but I will never, ever, have an empty heart.Of course I am kind of leaning towards the Walton’s idea, and perhaps a grandchild or two (eegads! not now but later) to take, hand in hand, to the Teddy Bear store, where I will watch them dance with glee as I hold back tears of joy.
