Back to School Night

OK folks, I think that I have a disease. (Not like my sister's disease where she has to match EVERYTHING, no not like that.) Last night was my little dolly's first back to school night. It was hard on me. I was on the verge of tears for most of it. She was acting very shy. We didn't get to meet her teacher very well because there were loads of parents and kids there. So next week when she goes for her assessment we will get to know her teacher a bit better, one on one. I am so glad that she is growing up, learning new things, and wanting to become her own little person. With that said, I'm sad, I'm scared, I have a disease. It is breaking my heart. It really doesn't feel like it has been 5 years since she came into our lives. I feel like I am going to miss so much. I guess I am just spoiled in that she has been with me, and I can see all the new stuff she learns and does. Wow, am I babbling. Stay focused, Jeri.....

Anyways, as I was thinking about all this last night I was thinking about Mommys. How Mommys have to go through hard things merely because they are Mommys. And how each stage of motherhood holds different challenges for us all. Like me having stress about sending my girly to school, while other Mommys have jumped that hurdle already and found another one waiting patiently. So today I would like to give a great big cheer to all the Mommys in the world! To all the Mommys who are working night and day to help their kids grow and become wonderful adults. You are great. To all the Mommys who are in middle of a hurdle. You are not alone. To all the Mommys that have overcome hurdles. You are amazing.

A huge thanks to all the Mommys out there that have helped me be the best one that I can be. Been there when I needed you, helped me up when I fell, and cheered for me in the background. Thank You!
