Today is my last day of "work". For the last 6 years I have been caring for precious children on the regular. Some family, some friends, and some strangers that became family. My 3 year old hardly takes naps these days but today she did and for the first time in a while asked me to read her "2 books". I almost teared up. I told her that I would really miss her and she said, "Yeah, but it's okay because I'll still get to see you all the time!" Presh.
Also, at the end of this month JB turns 8. Soon after the girls will start kindergarten and then turn 5. How can this be?
I feel as if I'm about to be an empty nester. I have all these strange feelings. I have excitement for the (unknown) future. I have anxiety that I no longer will have any babies to love on and invest in. I have happiness that they are all so healthy and growing up to be so great. Seriously, what am I going to do?
This next phase of life is going to be so interesting. Hopefully I can handle it. Classes start Wednesday. I'll go Monday and Wednesday from 8-2pm with 5 minutes between each class. Hello high school?
Football starts next week as well. I have already noticed that "the other version" of my husband is here and the version that has been around since March is no where to be found. Lord, help me to be supportive and quiet (and if possible, send an elf to help me out until basketball is over)!
I need to write on my mirror how I am going to make all these changes "happy". Maybe if I read it every day I'll believe it and then do it!
