I don't want Sunshine to go to Kindergarten!!

I don't!!!

I really really really don't.

I want her to stay little and young and pal around with me everyday. I am so acutely aware of the time passing each day. And each day that passes brings us another day closer to kindergarten. I know it's only February. But to me it's "only four more months of school left and then kindergarten starts in the fall." I can't even begin to explain it. I have a feeling it's probably not "healthy" to feel this way, but I can't help it. Sunshine played hooky from school three days this week so far. And she's playing hooky again tomorrow. We have too much fun together. She's such a good little sidekick!! I will miss her like crazy! I absolutely cannot believe that all of my children will be in school next year. TIME FLIES!

I don;t know how I'm going to fill this "void". (Please don't suggest that I get a job). :)

For some reason, every single day it is on my mind that my baby will be in school next year. I remember at one point thinking that "the day that they are all in school" seemed like it was forever away. And it's fast approaching and I'm not ready and I won't be ready. I'm really worried about it, y'all.

I'm not having that feeling like, "What am I supposed to do with my life?" I'm simply having that feeling like, "I am going to miss my children!!" Life is too short! Toddlerhood is too short! Summer is too short!!

I tell Sunshine all the time that she is awesome. She tells me, "You are awesomER!" She tells me I'm the "best mom in the history!" She tells me I smell like strawberries. She even made up a song, "Who do I love? It starts with a T. Tuh, tuh, tuh...Tiffany!" So yesterday I said, "Who do I love??? It starts with an H." She said, "That's right!" Then she said, "We love each other. Right?" See why I'm having a hard time?! SHE is AWESOMER! And I really really really want her to stay home with me!

So if there are any "younger-than-me" moms out there reading this, go put a brick on your child's head. I never tried it, but it might work. Maybe they'll quit growing! If it doesn't work, promise me that you will hold them tight every day and tell them how awesomer they are!! I cannot believe how quickly time flies. Don't even get me started about my first born turning "double digits" this year! Ugh!

My oldest turns double digits next week. I am so sad. This morning,I stood in the hall looking at a particular picture of them and started to cry!! Right in the middle of morning routine!! It was not productive.

My youngest is in kindergarten right now. I still miss him and I still feel like I don't know what to do all day! I mean, I do things that need to get done of course, but I feel like a mom without any kids!! Although I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling like this, I'm sorry that are feeling it. I just keep praying!
