Officially Official

Miles is officially registered for Kindergarten at Plano.  And, I'm officially SAD.  I have been a stay at home mom for 10 years, and it's coming to an end.  I want to bury my head in the pillows and CRY.  Change is never easy for anyone, but I am hoping that this transition is harder for me than it is for Miles.  I know he will be in good hands this fall.  It will help having Karson and Isaac there with him.
But who's going to be there to help me ADJUST?

It's no surprise that there is only ONE SOURCE that can provide comfort.  We are studying the Beth Moore series James Mercy Triumphs in our Wednesday night ladies class.  Today's lesson was titled Consider the Source, and the material hit me smack dab where I needed it.  Moore starts the study with a Q & A with the first question being:  What is the biggest battle going on inside of you right now?  My biggest battle is my empty nest.  Here's two quotes from today's lesson:  Nobody has everything they've ever longed for -and- All of us, no matter how much we have, desire something we don't.  The selfish side of me wants it all--to keep my children little, protected, and at home with me--for them to never grow up, to always need me, and the like.  I mean, ya'll, I'm going to have a 4th grader, 2nd grader and kindergartner.  What in the world?  I'm going to need God's constant presence to help me transition into the next chapter (and the prayers of family and friends).

Ms. Teresa and her wild bunch.  All of these sweet kids are on their way to kindergarten.  Maybe I can wrangle up some of these moms for a good CRY session?

I had to throw in a picture of my sweet little preschool bunch (my last bunch).  This year has been wonderful.  I have loved my time at EEP and am grateful for the memories made there.

Here's to new beginnings....(psst, pray for me).
