mommy and daddy will PLAY!

school started yesterday, and even anna was gone for her half day of pre school. i cant even express how weird it was to have all the kids gone. no one at home. silence in the car. no cartoons. no questions. i have had kids at home for ten years. ever since i was 19 years old. the minute one was on his or her way out, another one was entering our lives…so to leave everyone at school, and walk to the car, and go out to breakfast, and come home and …… do ….. whatever we want! was really really weird.

good weird.
but weird.

its what has been the light at the end of my tunnel. the thing jeff pep talked me with. “soon they will all be in school and you will have so much more time to get done what you want to get done.”

and now it is here. well, partially. anna only goes two days a week. but its just odd. time goes to fast. i remember having three in diapers and thinking my life was over. i was tired, and run down, and not sure what was going on. and it seems so long ago and at the same time only yesterday. and now this new chapter is starting. im “that” mom now….the mom who gets to drop everyone off and go home to herself. and get a break. and have a chance to miss them. and be refreshed and ready for them when 2 o clock rolls around.

im that mom now. and its tripping me out!
