Expat, Mom, gym rat and pinterest junky. Momming it up and trying to keep my sanity.
Today is the last day of the summer break. Tomorrow my son starts school and next week my daughter starts preschool. The internet seems to be overjoyed that the kids are back in school. Picture after picture, video after video shows happy moms celebrating the first day of school. I honestly don’t get it. I am in mourning for the summer break.
I get part of it. I will have more time. My kids will be entertained for most of the day and that relieves a lot of pressure from me.
But what am I really gaining?
And what am I giving up?
It will only get worse as they get older sports, scouts, friends…..
So what am I missing?
Am I alone in this feeling of impending stress over a hundred different things that now require my attention. Am I alone when I say that things are harder when the kids are in school?
I can’t be alone.
