The girls begin their school adventures tomorrow...away from home.
We've been homeschooling for the past 2 years. One is so excited she had a hard time sleeping (the little miss) and one had a hard time sleeping because she is anxious and scared and not wanting to go (the eldest miss). All was well until it was time to lay out their clothes for the morning. She went to do it and came back in tears. She just couldn't hold it together anymore. It took me by surprise and completely upset me...although I hid it well...I hope. I am already very nervous and anxious, myself, about this and have had many sleepless nights since we decided to do this last April.
Both girls will be in school all day. We've never had this experience before. Most parents get the gradual release (if mom doesn't work outside the home) of first preschool for a few hours a day and then kindergarten for a few more hours a day... This will be an all at once thing. I shall miss my girls. See I'm getting all tear-eyed just thinking about it. I shall miss teaching them. I shall miss the giggles and moments that happen when you least expect it. I know they'll be home in the evening...but I will miss them all day. Never thought I'd say that! When they were babies these days seemed so very very far away. Now they are upon me and I'm all choked up!
You may ask "whatever will you do with all your free time?" haha...very funny! I will be working in the office that would eat me alive if it could. So that is my answer..."What free time?"
~let the adventure begin and may God grant us the wisdom to traverse it with grace~
