Well, my girls start preschool tomorrow. My last little babies!! LOL! Growing up! Three years old now, potty-trained, big girls. I've been nostalgic all day, wondering where their babyhood went. I'm proud of them, and excited for my snatch of time alone, but I can't help but feel kind of emotional (I'm weird, I admit), and I hope I don't cry, LOL!
I'm also worried about Tessa. She's soooooo shy. She basically socializes with NO ONE except us and her cousins! She'll be with Jenna, and they're so attached to one another, I'm sure she'll be OK. But I remember how Matthew used to scream and cry and cling to my leg when I left him at preschool, and it broke my heart. He adjusted, and he was fine, and he's a big third-grader now, none the worse for wear, but it still stresses me. And of course, I asked Michael to take the morning off and go with me, but he says he can't, that he will be the only attending on duty in the ER and has to be there ::SIGH::
It's always on us moms, right? The dads don't choke back the tears at the preschool door. It's all up to us.
It's only Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2 hours per day, 2 days/week. No big deal, right?
My babies are babies no more. I'll post a little picture of them when they were just my little tiny things. Where did the time go?
OK, I'm so over having babies, but still. . .
And the other thing I kind of am stressing about, and I shouldn't, is that my parents are having their big Epiphany celebration on Saturday night. Dinner, presents for the whole family. Nice, right? It's a Greek thing. But not so nice because my mom and I haven't talked since before Christmas when she got FURIOUS with me for not eating Christmas Dinner with them, and gave mine and Michael's gifts to my sisters and their husbands. She is still so angry with me. This will not be fun. But I feel like I should show up this time for my dad, my siblings, my nieces and nephews and my kids. Am I wrong? If I boycott this one, I'll be farther down on her Hate List than I already am!! WHEW! There will really be he77 to pay!
I think I should go and just be really sweet and nice. But it's still stressing me. Michael said we'll try and get a babysitter and have a Date Night Friday night just to make the weekend better, and give me something to look forward to, so that's nice. But Saturday night may not be very much fun at all!
So Courage Vibes for Sofia for the next few days would be so much appreciated! Thanks! :)

Thanks everyone, for all your sweet words and the COURAGE VIBES, LOL! You are all such an amazing support. I just hope I can be even half as supportive to you as you are to me. (((HUGS))) right back!
I'll post an update up above for those of you who weren't in Chat, in case you care to read it.
I think it is normal to be upset that they are going into pre-school.
