In the past few weeks, we have moved (staying with my parents for 2 months until they move, then buying their house!), DJ started Kindergarten, Scarlett started daycare, my commute got longer, and hubs started teaching at a new school and coaching a new football team.
Talk about MAJOR adjustments. So far I am staying somewhat calm. As one would guess, these transitions are not as smoothe as we’d hoped. DJ seems to like Kindergarten. Actually, I know he likes it. He already can name a list of girls who he likes, of course. But so far EVERY SINGLE MORNING he cries, letting me know he will miss me and he doesn’t want to go. It breaks my heart.
Next up in the fun morning routine is dropping Scarlett (who is almost 2 and a half now!) off at daycare/preschool. Last week was her first week. She cried and kicked and screamed at drop off both days, but got excellent reports. She even let the teachers do her hair, which is something that she does not like me to do. This morning, in the car, she cried, “mommy I don’t wanna go to daycare.” SADDEST THING EVER.
So as of 8:39 this AM, my heart has been broken two times. And I am writing this as I wait for an appointment with my pulmonologist (more on that later). Which means I need to go into work late and make up the time, or take PTO. It really is just neverending.
On top of the kids, my 40 hour week week plus lots of driving is insane (thanks Howard Stern and Sam Smith for helping me pass the time). Hubs gets home late every night and leaves before the kids wake up in the AM.
I know that this is all new, and this is what we wanted, but it is rough. We need strength to make it through the next few weeks as we use into our new “life.” Pray I stay sane 🙂
