On Monday my baby started Kindergarten and my first born started Middle School. They got accepted just two weeks prior into a public charter school that I and several others had been praying for them to get into. I was excited, happy, overwhelmed, and sad. It seems like I just brought these two precious blessings home from the hospital, and now here we were at these major milestones in their lives.
I cried after drop off the first day. The second day I was in shock that I literally had 4 hours to myself in the mornings, and that it would continue! That has not happened since hmmmmmmmmmmm? Does college count? Today my daughter got into the car after I picked her up from kindergarten and was sad she could not stay all day like some of the all day kindergarten kids. Whoa that took me for a surprise! I am happy she is loving school!
My son is loving his new school as well and enjoys having different classes and different teachers. He's been told if he'd like advanced work in math they can arrange that (take that old school district who didn't think he was gifted)
So I wonder who really needs to spread their wings and fly? Them or me? I gotta say these baby birds are happily soaring to great heights and all that time spent nurturing them in the nest is paying off.
So now I am pondering me. What's a mama bird to do when her little ones happily leave the nest and find their wings?
I must admit I feel a little lost, unsure. What now?
I'm finding peace in this uncertainty and the unknown by looking back at where I was and with excitement dreaming about where I'll be.
It's gonna be good I can feel it! I am one blessed mama bird.
