First day of school.....sob :(
 

I thought I was doing pretty good this school year. I cried for a month before
Jordan & Madison started Mother's Morning Out 2 years ago, and cried for
several days before they started 2 year-old preschool last year. So I was
pretty proud of myself when I made it to today with no tears. I took them to
preschool, took some pictures, kissed and hugged them goodbye, then walked out
of the classroom and fell apart. It suddenly hit me the moment I walked into
the hall. I've been crying on and off all day ever since. I'm a wreck! I think
what's making it even worse is knowing that we will probably never have another
child to go through this milestone with again. I'm also 95% sure that I'm going
back to teaching next year, so I will never be able to drop the girls off for
their first day of school again because I will have to be in my own classroom.
Children grow up too fast, it's not fair!

Ok, I have to pull myself together because Madison just woke up from her nap.

I thought I was doing well yesterday too. I made it all the way to the
grocery store after I dropped them off for 1st grade and then started
bawling in the bulk food section. Oh the joys of parenting.

Hug Andrea.

Big hugs to you, Andrea. I did the same thing with DD and know I will with the
boys as well.

Take care,

Big hugs Andrea. Mine start next Tuesday, and I'm not sure how I'll react.
Right now, I'm looking forward to it in a big way since I work from home and
need those few hours every day. We'll see what happens Tuesday.

I guess this is where the insensitive male in me comes out. I don't feel the
need to cry when I see that they are growing. Heck, I love to see them grow!

My dh is the same way. He just shakes his head at me and tells me I need help.
:)

I did call him after I dropped them off (for the previous 2 years he's been
there on the first day with me) because I was just sooo upset. He said
something like "I'm sorry you're so upset." He did try to be sympathetic, but
he just doesn't get it.

I know the girls are fine and loving school and I enjoy having the time to
myself, but it just saddens me that it's another milestone gone by (too
quickly, I might add). =(

Awww Andrea, hugs to you.

I thought I was doing great last year, not one tear, until the last day and the
teacher handed me a notebook she put together with pictures taken throughout
the year. Wah!! All those moments I missed! Wah! Their first year of
preschool over. *sniff*

I'm going to be a basket case when they graduate from high school or when they
get married...
