I Suck At Change

August 17, 2016 3 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

It’s 10:30 at night.  I was HOPING to be asleep by now.  I was HOPING to make another (possibly futile) attempt at getting my butt up and running in the AM before the chaos of the day but alas…here I sit….at the bar in my kitchen eating left over pizza and biting my nails (and talking to you).

Why all this nervous eating?  This week has done a number on my emotions and it’s not over yet.  Tuesday E started kindergarten.  Yes, I know, it’s a great milestone.  One a mom should be proud of and I am but the sap in me has been tearing up randomly since Monday.  I tried to keep it together when we dropped him off.  I really did but as you might be able to see in this picture, I didn’t do a very good job.

First Day of Kindergarten But he was strong and did great.  I left his room and headed to coffee with the other parents trying to gain my composure and random parents would give me hugs and remark on the obvious fact that I was the mom of a kindergartner.  Guess lots of us do it.

Today was day two and it was a little better but I still teared up.  There is no real reason why I should be crying.  It’s not sad.  I guess I just see 5 years of mothering flashing before my eyes.  Before long he will be driving.  UGH!

And NOW tomorrow MiniE starts preschool.  Seriously.  I’m gonna need a LONG run and an even bigger bottle glass of wine.

It’s funny.  I’ve been blogging since before E was born.  We’ve gone through a TON of milestones together and now this.  So stay with me….I’m gonna need all the virtual hugs I can get this week.

Hold me!

    I wrote a similar piece last week, albeit a little farther down the parenthood road. Remember this, we as dads & moms have to embrace the successful steps toward independence of our children since it’s what our job is; to make them not need us. It gets easier to watch your little ones grow until they are ready to leave the nest, which is where my emotions are currently being tested… Hugs, chica!
