Missing

I had dreams all night about my kids. Leaving them. Today I start school again, just a simple orientation, leaving at 8:30 so I will see them in a few minutes when I get them out of bed. But starting Tuesday (that is, if I have a placement), I won't see them until I get home. I knew I'd miss them, I didn't expect this ball to grow in my stomach last night and to feel this way. I know they are in good hands (Bobby) and I know they will be fine. I know independence is GREAT for them and that they will be taken care of and have FUN. I suppose every Mom feels this way at some point. I know in my head this is absolutely fine, but my heart hurts this morning in a way I didn't expect. Something feels like it's....missing.

  1. This is great for them!! They start to get used to some time without mommy around before school. So, the transition will be easier for them, which is almost as important as making the transition easier for YOU! The best part is...it is temporary. This isn't even a job that you have to take and stay with. It is just a short gig. Then, you are back home. Step back for a minute and try to see just how PERFECT the whole situation is for you and for them.
