Default 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.

Thanks for listening,
Andrea

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,

Ellen

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...
