A Sentimental Note

This morning, I went home to an empty house. I drove my daughter to school, she’s on her 2nd week in Kindergarten and then my son to his 1st day at day care.

Despite the heaps of chores I have to do, here I am all weepy and feeling like something is amiss. This separation anxiety is surely getting the best of me. But I have to trust that even without me, my kids will thrive. They will discover new and exciting things in this world that they will not learn being with me everyday, in our little sheltered environment. And that as they grow and mature, all these worry and sadness will fade away.

But for now, I’ll just sulk a bit more in this misery of missing my kids. Missing their laughter, cries and endless chatter that make this house a home.

These were taken during the holidays.  School started in January 30 here in Sydney.  See here how the playroom gets (and stays) messy day to day.

My kids love playing with playdough.
