Today was Liza's first day of Mother's Day Out. I felt like I was dropping her off for her first day of "real school." Seriously....look how grown-up she looks! I was just a mess of emotions.....It was a new church, I didn't know any of the teachers.....there was no Judah for Liza to play with (or get in trouble with) : ) I wasn't even really sure where to park. And then Liza had to go and be so big on me. "Bye bye, mommy!" I mean, seriously?
I am typically not the mom that gets emotional over this kind of thing.....I mean, I love my kids and miss them immensely when I am away from them, but I appreciate some good time off.... But... she stays until 1pm! I don't even get to eat lunch with her!
So, whats a momma to do? 1. Shed a few tears on the way home. 2. Blog about it so that I can get it off my chest and never forget this moment, ever. 3. Thank our Heavenly Father for such a precious gift, dry my eyes, and face the diaster that is awaiting me in my kitchen (and smile knowing that I can do it in peace and quiet while Will sleeps and Liza plays safely in good hands....)
Oh how my heart felt for you in this blog...because you are braver than I...I had CGH signed up for a 2 day program and I chickened out!! I couldn't do it. Please let me know how it goes. I need to call and chat about it bc I have so many thoughts about it. I'll be praying for you and this NEW exciting chapter in your life. :)
ReplyDeleteshe's such a big girl. you are blessed that she's independent...that's a great thing...so healthy. we will start a program in august...right down the street...i wouldn't put it past my 7 month preggo self to climb a tree and stake out w binoculars.
ReplyDeleteShe does look so grown up. I can't imagine going through this with Carys in a little over two years. Time really does fly. I really do feel for you, and my little one isn't even here yet.
