Overwhelmed
Sunday, August 23, 2009 at 09:36PM So I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. Just right now. Not until now, right now. I just went in to kiss the girls, they are sleeping like angels. But tomorrow marks a huge moment when I will have both girls in elementary school. It seems like yesterday this whole big dream started and now they'll both be gone. I know, I'm not sending them to boot camp, but it does feel that way. I see Vienne sleeping all crooked like she always does and MAN, when did she get so BIG?! Natalya, she's always so grounded, nothing every phases her, it's always all good. My heart is breaking a little but I know this is just one tiny step in their lives that will lead them to greatness.

i am feeling the same way. and it really didn't hit me until tonight. Jackson starts K tomorrow too! until you are a parent you never realize how quickly time passes! I'll be sending you, V and N happy thoughts for a great day!
I feel for you. I remember the feeling. I usually have a little cry in the car or on the walk home. You are not alone. I hope the girls have a very exciting first day of school and all goes well!
I know,Mama! I always cry a little bit after I drop them off for the first day too...it's like you only look away for a second and then you look back at them and they have grown. Bittersweet. Hope you have a great day.
i'm glad i don't have to do that for another two weeks...:(
Oh dear, kids do grow up too fast sometimes. I have to agree. I keep thinking the same thoughts about mine and preschool. Where did the time go? I hope they enjoy their first day of school. :)
Awww...I know they grow so fast, don't they? I'm not quite there, but Kai starts in 2 weeks. I'm not sure how I will feel, but I think it will harder when Anya goes next year. There's something about that baby being old enough for school. :(
I so understand the feeling. It doesnt change even when they go off to high school, drive, and college. Same feeling! I love to figure out how to keep them small and under one roof. But that wouldnt be the plan rlight? Sounds good at the moment. They change and grow and discover but moms love will always stay the same!
Be strong! Deep breaths! Take advantage of the quiet time. :0)
You will laugh at this post later :-D
No, I'm teasing you, I mustn't be such a cynic! With such beautiful girls why would you ever want to let them go?
I am so far behind in my blog reading atm....I'm off to catch up with you....
I would be feeling exactly the same way! I agree...take advantage of the quiet time!
