Not sure I am cut out for this empty nest thing.  The kids are leaving because they don't like being at home or spending time with us.  I try to think of things that we can do together but everything gets shot down if it is not entertaining.  I can't compete with households that have access to lake houses, rivers, beaches.  I guess I did not create a home.  Failure in the most important job I have ever done.  Nothing else matters. 

Birthday post

Nothing like a birthday to make you think.
I had to go to work today so I did not have much time to think until just now.
-my emails ranged from the generic Happy Birthday from a member of my management that doesn't know me from Adam/Eve to Zach and Lexie wishing me a Happy day.

The back of a calendar had a quote from Albert Einstein
"God does not play dice with the universe"
