Lorelai Pulls a Fast One

Lorelai traveled back to Clemson on January 5, and we haven't seen her since....until about a half hour ago. All last week, Hank and I kept saying, "Lor...why don't you come home this weekend...Lilly (our neighbor) is coming and you can ride together." Lorelai would indicate that she was going to stay at school. I heard a car door awhile ago and thought it was Hank...when I look out the back windows, here come Lor and Lilly marching in the back gate with very pleased looks on their faces. Yes siree...they pulled a fast one.

Her laundry bag must have weighed 40 pounds and I can barely get in the laundry room now that they're sorted all over the floor...I've got to go put clean sheets and towels in her room and plan decent meals for the rest of the weekend.

I am SO SO SO HAPPY that she's home for the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Ahhh, one day I will be in your shoes. My future college student still lives at home but right now he is wearing his Clemson sweat shirt. Now all he has to do is keep those grades up. So far so good. I think I will teach him do do his own laundry.

  12. I did that to my mom.

    We were interning in Indianapolis and I told her we weren't going to be able to make it home for Thanksgiving this year.

    We pulled in the driveway and I walked in the house. She was folding clothes and looked at me for a minute and then burst into tears.

    Probably because of my laundry...

  14. What a nice surprise - Meghan is coming home next weekend!! Can't wait to see her - wonder how her laundry will get home since she left her laundry bag here and did not take it back with her when she left for Christmas???? Either way, I'm sure I'll be doing laundry!!

    Enjoy your visit!!

  15. What a fabulous surprise! I'm so envious ~ I wish North Carolina were a little closer to Connecticut so my son could pop home for the weekend.

    Enjoy your weekend!
