College students or parents... help me here....
 

I have been totally stressed about this-- and it's down to the last day before we move our daughter into the dorms at college.

I have list after list of things she might need--and we have packed up according to those lists.

She has all the major things covered-- microwave, fridge, laptop, linens, etc....

I have a major headache--I'm stressed to the max today, and I don't want her first night to away from home to be spent at Walmart picking up things she left at home that should have been taken.

I still have that feeling that we're forgetting something....

What could I have possibly forgotten to have her pack?

Don't worry. As soon as you leave she is going to go to Wal-Mart herself and get the things she wants. I don't remember my parents worrying about my dorm room. Ha Ha.

She's probably pretty glad her mom is a worrier and is trying to make sure she has everything she will need for a couple of weeks... she hasn't collected her financial aid leftovers from the school yet after they take tuition/fees... :D

I know she doesn't want to have to spend all her money the first night on stuff she forgot to get from home. LOL
