Today has been a day of so many mixed emotions.
Jack slept well last night and woke up at 6:30- I felt so wonderful and rested.
When I got Jack out of his crib he said Mama and laid his head on my shoulder- I felt so very grateful my heart was full of love for my little man
When Emma woke up I went into get her and she told me "mommy you are the bestest"- Once again my heart was full of love.
Look what I can do! My little girl wrote her name alone for the first time- I was full of pride and wonder at what many more milestones her future will bring.
I went to get dressed and came back to see both kids playing together on the floor of the playroom- My cup overflowith. This is one of the true joys of having two kids, seeing them play together makes all the hard, busy times worthwhile.
I got the kids loaded in the car and grabbed backpacks and lunches that were packed last night- I felt so very organized, and on top of things.
I dropped Emma off at school, she gave her teacher a big hug and said see you later mom- I was so happy that she adores her school and her teacher is a strong loving Christian woman.
I called Andrew on the way to drop Jack off at his new Mother's Day Out in tears not sure if he was too young and not ready to let my little man go. He offered words of support love and encouragement.- I felt so very grateful and lucky to have this amazing man in my life as the father of my kids. He is my best friend, biggest fan and support system.
I got to Jack's MDO (mother's day out) program and he buried his head in my shoulder- I felt protective and sad.
Jack saw some boys playing with the ballpit he wiggled out of my arms and ran across the room to join in. At one point he was laughing so hard his face was red and his body was shaking.- I felt sad to let him go, full of joy at his laughter, happy that he was happy and safe.

Jack's First Day of School
I checked on him one more time before I walked out the door, and he did not even notice I was in the room.- I was sad watching my little boy and knowing that all too soon he would be a man who does not need his Mommy quite so much anymore. I felt an overwhelming sense of nervousness on the job that we have been given by God to help this little boy grow up into a strong Christian man. I felt so happy that my little easy going man was having such an easy time with this transition.
I got back in the car and called Andrew to give him the update on the kids. He told me he would be home around 11:30 so we could go to lunch, and to enjoy my day off because I deserved it.- I felt loved, appreciated, excited for alone time with my hubby.
So many feelings in such a short time. I guess this is what it means to be alive- From pride to sadness, love to joy.
I am so blessed and my cup overflowith!
