Just wanted to quickly get word out that I'm not sick or suffering, but haven't written just because I've been extra busy getting 4 kids back in school. The treatment went much better last Thursday, in fact they didn't have to stop during it at all, and I am hopeful that the remaining 5 will be just as carefree.
Oh, it's hard for me to let my friends go back to school! I know not everyone feels that way, but the first few weeks back are always a very hard adjustment for me. I sobbed Sunday night as Greg gave each a father's blessing in preparation for another school year. The hard part is marking time and realizing the little girl I just sent off to kindergarten is a senior this year. A senior! Of course since this has been my favorite part of life--the part between giving birth to my first little new baby and now--it's seemed like just a few moments instead of 18 years. I will write more in detail in a few days when I've adjusted! This is Rachel bonding with baby Tadman a couple of years ago.
Oh, this is such a good sign . . . no, not that you are mourning the starting of a new school year, but that you are feeling so much better that you have the time, the luxury, the normalcy to do such a "regular mom" sort of thing. Way to go! I'm really glad that they are all making you sad and that you're sobbing yourself to sleep for that reason. That's wonderful! I love you.

Margi, You are not alone. I miss my kids being home and underfoot, too. Pretty soon we will be too busy to be sad about it, though.
ReplyDeleteGlad treatment is getting easier! Remember we are constantly praying for you.
