My first day went well at my new job. The hardest part was being gone for ten hours. When I got home, we had dinner and I got to play with my girls. I missed them so much today. It may seem trivial and I'm sure we'll get used to it. Every time I thought of them today I had to fight crying. I'm finding it's hard to let go of talking with Sam's teachers at preschool and Leslie at daycare. I'm fortunate enough to have a husband who is eager to jump in and work at a place that is considerate of my kids and will offer me flexible hours. What those hours turn out to be is unknown, but I know we'll figure out a great arrangement!
My emotions coming up is me reacting to the change in our routine. A favorite quote of mine is, "Change happens, growth is optional". I'm processing the change. I look at parenting as being a role model - it's Daddy's and my job to guide the kids through these changes and help them cope while modeling good behavior. I hope that as the years go by my girls actively choose to grow as our life evolves.
