back to school blues

Rate this Entry
Tonight is open house at the kids school. I’m sick over it, but I don’t want them to know.

Max is 3 ½. I enrolled him in preschool last spring and then never heard anything more from them. When I enrolled him I thought I would substitute teach if he got in and just stay home with him if he didn’t. Over the past couple of weeks I just figured that he didn’t get in and I’ve been really looking forward to being home with him. I called the preschool today just to make sure that he wasn’t expected and found out that he has been accepted. It’s been a bit of a blow. My heart is up in my throat. He starts on Monday when the other kids go to school. Mason will be in kindergarten this year and that’s a big deal too. My mother’s heart is sad sad sad. I’ve had kids at home for a long time.

    I understand Mom-H. At least you will have a little extra time for yourself. And you can look forward to helping them with their homework. But I feel for you.

    My mother always talks about the parents who absolutely couldn't wait until their kids went to school (and back to school). The thing with my mother is that she NEVER wanted her kids to go. She always dreaded the end of summer because she loved having the kids around. Unfortunately you can't hold on to your kids, right? Ah, well. What can you do? But like Shalot said, go get a pedicure. Perk yourself up a little bit by taking advantage of a little time all that is all for you. By the way, I always get depressed when the school year starts and I have no idea why. It isn't like I am in school anymore and I am sad over my break being over. It isn't even like I have any kids to depress me when they go back. Yet, the beginning of the school year always brings me kind of down. Isn't that crazy?

    Ohhh My mum is kind of the same... But she certainly didn't expect to have my sister... Now that she is a little used to it all because I'm in my second last year of high school and my brother only has about 4 more years left of high school, so she was a little sad but a little excited about having a house empty of kids in a few years... But now she has my sister!!!

    sometimes I get excited about having an empty house, but it's so far away it doesn't seem real. Sometimes I would think how I wouldn't have to take all of the kids with me and feel relief like when I go to the doctor. I think a pedicure sounds like a great idea. I'm sure that doing my homework will be so much easier. Max doesn't have to go to preschool every day so he can stay home with me sometimes. I just wasn't emotionally prepared. I've spent the past week thinking about how nice it will be to have time alone with the baby.

    Oh dear this will be a change for you--seems yearssince I had a child about and they were usually in their rooms. Give yourself some adjustment time and try to fill in the gaps with stuff that interests you and you now have some time for. Hope this helps.

    I'm just sending you a huge cyber hug since I can feel for you some. Garrick is starting kindergarten this year, and it's hitting me a little hard. It's not so easy having to watch them grow up:( Hope that things will settle soon. ~Meg~
