Waiting for the day to come...
My twin daughter's were born 13 1/2 years ago. Since that day I've been waiting for the moment when each of the kids would gain some independence and move into the greater world without me by their side. This morning marks the moment when all five children were in school at the same time. It's the day I've been waiting for. The day that I start re-creating an identity for myself that has something other than "full-time mom" at the head of the descriptors. Granted, Kindergarten is only 3 hours long. And truthfully, I'd miss the kids if they were gone much longer. I've loved having these young years at home with them, and plan to still be home when they walk in the door at the end of each school day. But I'm also feeling the beginnings of a freedom I haven't tasted for a long time.
Who or what will I be for those 3 hours a day? Haven't a clue! But I'm really enjoying the concept.
