Better late than never. First day of kindergarten. I still have mixed feelings about it. Such a little kid in such a big school. I'm happy, I'm anxious, I'm excited, I'm scared. I'm nostalgic of the baby days when I got to stay home with her and she was no one else's responsibility but mine. When she was my full-time job. When I didn't have to worry about her needs being met by strangers, wondering if she's crying or having a great day. This week it feels particularly hard to be a working mom. But life goes on. And I have to trust that the system works and that she's learning life skills that I can't teach her. That these experiences will complement the lessons we try to teach her at home and that in the end, all will be well. Tonight, she's in bed - I know she's safe and I can give my worries a rest. I will close my eyes wishing and hoping for a good day tomorrow, for her and all our little ones. #workingmom #momvslife #firstdayofschool #firstdayofkindergarten #viviisfive
