I was looking at this photo earlier at my phone and it makes me sad that my kids have grown up a lot! I am so grateful and blessed that I get to be a stay-at-home-mom. It might not be a cloud nine everyday (you know what I mean right, lol) but it's worth every second I spend my time with them.
oday is there first day of school and as I prepared their breakfast, U wanted to cry because I felt a very strong emotion that I couldn't explain. I thought that as they grow older, it would be easier for me to send them to school but no! It doesn't get any easier at all. The only consolation I have is seeing their smiles and their excitement of going back to school.
They never really cried when I sent them to Kindergarten on the first day but I did! I don't cry now when I get back home but still hard for me to see them go on the first day. Today is half day and they have free dress day. Tomorrow will be the start of a full day at school and wearing uniforms.
Anyway, we went to school early today to avoid the rush of so many students pouring in. We brought all their supplies last Friday when we registered so it was an easy day today. I can't believe my son is now in third frade and my daughter is in middle school. Ahhhh time really flies!
My daughter woke up so early and made this note for her teacher.
A pose with her classmate before I left.
As I tyoed this, my heart is heavy but at the same time I am excited for their new adventures in learning. Talking about mixed emotions eh? I don't know, maybe I am just too attached to my kids that I have this separation anxiety everytime they go.
In ten years, we only left these two to a caregiver ince when we attended a Navy Bal few years ago. Ut was really hard for me being away from them and it was just for few hours. I don't think I will be able to take it if we will be sparated for weeks or even days, Ih boym I better stop before tears flood my keyboard. Have a great day everyone!
