Hey Y'all! I usually don't get to personal here on the ole blog, but can I share with you a little? I'm kinda sorting freaking out a lot little bit.
The Boy is starting preschool on Monday, yep, MONDAY. I signed him up on Thursday afternoon. It all sort of happened super fast and I'm not really sure I'm ready. He's ready, but this mama is a wreck. I've been blessed to be a stay at home mom since the boy was born. Which means I haven't had a "real" job in over 4 years. GULP.
Well, that was until last week, when this mama got a job offer. It's time, it really is. This boy needs to be with other kids and start preschool. I know he's going to love it and have a blast. But I'm so sad to send him to school. And I'm SUPER nervous about re-entering the workforce.
I'm usually pretty confident, but I'm feeling so nervous and anxious, it's like the first day of High School all over again. What if I can't cut it? And now I need to shop for "real" clothes, no more paint splattered pjs all day. Anyway, I just wanted to share and get it off my chest, thanks for listening. There may be some down time around here as I work through this transition. But I've got some fun projects in the works, in the mean time, and the Craft DeStash Bash is coming up soon too.

I've had quite a bit of experience with this even though I only have 1 (grown) daughter.
When jamie walked down the hallway to her first day of preschool I was a mess. She walked in the room, waved and said "bye mom". I walked away and had a meltdown. It was the hardest thing I had ever done, and it broke my heart that she went so willingly.
That being said, 2 years later I was back at that same school TEACHING pre-k. I was on the other side of the door welcoming the wee ones and seeing the sometimes happy, sometimes sad faces of parents. It's amazing how we all handle these things differently.
99% of the kids LOVED the time away from their parents. The boy will be fine, you will be fine eventually. lol
Good luck to both of you! Baby steps my dear, it's all about growing up!

It's was pretty hard for me to send Aedan to preschool! It's only 3 hours a day but that was 3 hours he wouldn't be with me under my watchful eye! He LOVED it though and that really helped me. Plus I love his preschool and the teachers are great so that makes it easier too. Good luck!!
Also good luck on your new job! :)
