Well school is back on Thursday and DD#1 has been going for 4 years now, but DD#2 is just starting. So I have spent the day sewing in name labels and making sure that all her uniform fits - aww she looks cute, but she can't be old enough for school already, can she? It doesn't seem 5 minutes ago that I was rocking this dear little baby of mine, whilst big sister helped out and seemed so grown. Part of me wishes for another baby, but where to put it, I'd have to move my stash! Oh well, it just seems strange, I am a stay at home Mum and I have spent the last 8 years at home, looking after at least 1 little person if not 2. I feel like I am changing job and I have a definite lump in my throat and a tear in my eye, as I know that they have to grow and leave little by little, but they are my babies! I know that this will free up time to decorate and tidy so that we can sell up in the New Year, but I wonder have I prepared her for the outside World, have I taught her all that I could before this big step to school, so many worries.......
I know that they can't stay at home forever, I wouldn't want them to, but this transition is feeling hard, all those feelings of who am I and where do I belong etc. I know that once I have a new routine and they are both settled in to routines, life will go on as they say.
I suppose now I better go feed them now, before they start gnawing at my ankles!
Thanks for letting me share, just needed to tell someone. I know that I am not alone with this one.
