Letter to my Present Self

-

 Dear Me, 

Here is where we are right now. Life has shifted in big ways this past year. It feels like I'm standing in a new season of life and I'm still figuring out where I fit in this new season. The last year has shifted so much, and while sometimes I feel uncertain, I also know that I have grown in many ways. I really do miss parts of who I used to be, and I am learning how to find pieces of myself again. I am coming back to this space, just a little corner just for me.  A place to breath, reflect, find myself, and have a place to process all the fun and challenging things, this wonderful life have brought to me. I want to remember that even though, I feel so basic and ordinary, I still have a story that matters. 


With Care, 

Me

So I got busy/ lazy and have not posted an update for this last week of daycare, so I have decided to combine 2 weeks. Things are daycare are going GREAT!!! He no longer cries, when we pull into the parking lot, and he goes inside without a fuss. This morning, he went right in, and sat down on the mat to watch TV, and only fussed, which is awesome. When I come to pick him up, he is very calm, yet happy to see me. The other day, he saw me, went right to his cubby, got his blanket and headed for the door, while telling everyone " bye", which melted my heart. We have also been trying to break him of his habit of waking up in the middle of the night, My fault, since I would get up with him, and snuggle with him, as we laid on the air mattress in the living room. The other night, we were there, and he would not go to sleep. For 2 hours, he would wiggle, roll, and touch my face, or try to put his fingers in my mouth, AT 2AM, so I told him to go to sleep or he was going to his...

Separation Anxiety for Parents

-
We have all heard that kids get separation anxiety when they have to leave their parents and it can become a big deal. I remember when Derek started daycare and he had really bad anxiety and was constantly upset. I thought it was from all the changes that were happening to him at once, and I am sure some of that was the case, but Derek was struggling with separation anxiety.  I also had a hard time with it, with all the changes that took place, and we would both cry, but I assumed it would get better. For me, I felt like I loved him so much, and as an adult, this was part of it. Well, this past weekend, I realized that I struggle with separation anxiety, and it isn’t just a kid struggle. There have been many times I have had to leave my kids, and anytime I do, I immediately feel sick to my stomach, and want to cancel all my plans.  Of course, you are not able to do that, but I always cry and feel horrible about it. This past weekend, I left, with Derek to go visit...
