Briefly...

It's been a bit of a downer day for me and I just don't have the oomph to write much about it. In a nutshell, major anxiety/sadness centered around the idea that I will be leaving my boys in the care of another in the very near future. I can't even wrap my head around it.

I am grateful for a job opportunity, no doubt. But it is a different kind of sacrifice for me to give up such precious time with my boys. They are already growing up too fast and I don't want to miss anything. Moms do this all the time- how do they do it?

I am hopeful that it will all work out but in the meantime, I am just sad.

Positives:
*I am so thankful for Mike who is so understanding of my feelings and when it really counts, he seems to know what I need to hear.
*Michael had a dentist appointment today and was so cooperative. Last time didn't go so well but today he was really curious and they at least got a good look at his pearly whites.
*Liam, oh my little Liam...something is going on with his teeth- early 2 yr molars?- because he is acting like a teething baby. But he is such a ray of sunshine that even that can't get to him!

I'm so sorry you are sad - I would feel the same way, it would be really hard!! But I am sure you have found a good place to care for them and that you will all get into a new routine after a period of adjustment. Hang in there!
