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 twin girls-Jordan & Madison 3 yrs. old already |

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.

Big hugs to you, Andrea. I did the same thing with DD and know I will with the
boys as well. Take care, Ellen -------- Erin 6/26/95 Bradley & Alex 10/5/00 |

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. -- Leslie Alex and Jordan, 06 May 2000 "Andrea" wrote in message ... I thought I was doing pretty good this school year.

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). =( Andrea twin girls-Madison & Jordan 3 yrs. old |

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...

Meanwhile, Holly is going three hours two days a week. It's more of a
wrench leaving her (youngest? without a sibling?) than it ever was leaving them in preschool -- I keep calling the school to see she's OK. They are probably sick of me. LOL! But I can see what you mean. How do people with singletons do it? Send their child off all alone, into the lions den to brave it alone. Cold cruel world...

LAnother milestone - first love...Kathleen in totally enthralled by a new kid in class - Matt. He gave her a pencil, she says her heart just beats fast and she's breathless!!! They sit near each other in music and get silly while they sing! Oh boy, thought this didn't happen until Junior High! LOL! No kidding! What did you say when she told you? I just have to know. Maybe it will help me in the hopefully distant future. Andrea twin girls-Madison & Jordan 3 yrs. old |
