Thinking of all the mamas who sent their Hearts to school today.
The first day of school brings excitement, sure. It brings more time to get work done, laundry, dishes, errands, whatever.
But I was still able to do all those things over the summer while both my kids were home, too. A little more chaotic and a little more coordination for when I could work, but it all got done AND we were together.
For me the first day school just makes me a little (read, a lot) sad. Sad another chapter has closed and my babies are growing up way faster than I could have ever imagined. A blink of an eye. The house is far too quiet. I didn’t trip over anyone because they were right on my heels. The sink is still basically empty. The laundry is put away. Two galleries went out this morning.
I know they’ll have a great year. I already got a text from one of their teachers saying my girl is “such a love” and having a nice day. (Grateful for teachers who touch base 🤍).
But I still am just happier when we are all together. 🤍
