Another Season, Another Stage
For the last ten years, I have been a stay at home mom.
Within that time we brought home two more newborns, the first three children started elementary school, and I homeschooled the oldest for her three years of middle school. We also started our business and I even went back to school myself a couple of times.
In three weeks time, my world will ultimately change. The oldest is returning to public school as a freshman in high school. Then the youngest is starting kindergarten, the baby is going to school. So that means all four of our kids will be in school.
People have started to ask what I'm going do to with all my free time. Hmm.
That's a great question I guess, I've even asked myself that question. I've thought about going back to school or working at our shop. I have considered taking care of myself by going to a doctor to check on some things I have on my mind, thank you late 30s. Or going to counseling for a time, again just to work on some things on my mind.
I could take the time to finally get this laptop's N fixed...I have had to push it really hard to work this entire blog entry!
I have already compiled a list of cafes and coffee houses that I want to explore, by myself or with friends.
Who knows, maybe I'll come home the first day of school and just sit in the quiet.
Maybe I'll relish in it or be scared by it.
Maybe I will run a hot bath and soak until I'm a full grow raisin.
Maybe I'll actually make it to the gym more than once a week.
Maybe I'll write that book I've always wanted to write.
Who knows.
I don't really know what I want, and who says I have to know today?
What I do know is that I've only just begun with the busiest stage of my motherhood journey, or trek, whatever you want to call it.
My calendar is already color coordinated. This is my attempt to not be a complete hot mess running to and fro the school drop off-pick up line at two different schools and two different schedules.
Which honestly will only be a preview for next year when I have four kids in three different schools and three different schedules. I don't want to get it all mixed up, the horror.
One thing's for sure, I'm going to try to take it one day at a time and try to embrace the joy that these kids bring me. And breathe deep when they drive me crazy.
Hmm, I guess I could get my house in order. Maybe.
But, first let's get through the next three weeks.
Cheers to the end of a season and hello to the new season ahead.
Wish me luck. Good luck to all of you and your seasons too!
