Kindergarten woes

Summer is over. I just dropped the kids off at school which means today is Roo's first day of kindergarten.

I wish my gut was not screaming at me, but this just feels so wrong. I feel in every bone of my body that Roo should not be there. I do think Bean will have another great year and everything feels mostly right about her not staying home with me. As much as I also want to homeschool her, I don't have that same urgency prompting me to keep her close at the moment.

I am trying to celebrate the small good things that come out of being a mom with just one kid around. My house will stay cleaner, I can have one on one time with Boo, learn to make homemade bread and step up the quality of other homemade goods, do more with my doula business, and generally bless my home a bit more.

Oh yeah, and I guess I can start writing in my blog again!
