Yes, we are still the mom, but it feels like we are being pulled in so many different directions once school starts, doesn't it? I wish summer would linger on just a bit longer......<br /><br />Thanks for checking in on our blog!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303861538066787622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546425043426425595.post-38996095334532622452010-08-24T10:25:32.892-07:002010-08-24T10:25:32.892-07:00I did this three weeks ago, so a big hug to you.
...I did this three weeks ago, so a big hug to you.<br /><br />When I took on an increased teaching load last spring semester, I had the guilt about the increased time in daycare for mine. Then I realized that there are things she needs that I can't give her. She needs time with her peer group, she needs time outside (I usually don't like being outside), etc.<br /><br />It takes a village. You put the best village around your child(ren) and then you step back and tell yourself it is good (enough).<br /><br />And that sounds great, but then there are still tears (mine and hers).<br /><br />You're still their mom, always will be, no matter what.MommieVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802987098837731695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546425043426425595.post-51853537009328630602010-08-23T19:09:03.465-07:002010-08-23T19:09:03.465-07:00This is a battle I have with myself quite often. ...This is a battle I have with myself quite often. Some days I'm glad they have a place to go where they'll learn and see their friends. Other days I feel terrible guilt that I'm not able to be there, myself, to teach them and be with them. It's a struggle we likely won't be without, but from it, we'll develop the tools to make our time with them that much more special.<br />{{HUGS}} Good luck with the first week back to school.JAMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699891999225058121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546425043426425595.post-54198195277467347622010-08-23T18:19:09.927-07:002010-08-23T18:19:09.927-07:00Changes are always hard, but your kids will be fin...Changes are always hard, but your kids will be fine, they are better than we think they could be.

I hope the boys have such a great time at day care that when they happily hug you at the end of the day, you get the reassurance they were doing well while you were away and SO happy to see you at the end of a great day. Maybe that makes for less anxiety for you?<br />I hope so!cmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339916803789683010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546425043426425595.post-41112294992000362372010-08-23T11:23:51.929-07:002010-08-23T11:23:51.929-07:00Hang in there.
