My girls started back to school yesterday (Tuesday, 1/5/10) and I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't hard to send them back. I really enjoyed having them home with me for Winter break. Delaney and I both got a little teary eyed after they left for school. Then we went to therapy. Ah, back to normal living. Business as usual. Now if we could just stop Bobby from hanging around all the time....imagine that! Just me and my Laneybug hangin' out all by ourselves. Delaney is trying some new things in therapy now. I've always taken her to therapy and sat in with them, watching her every move, tracking her progress. You know, just doing the whole "mommy thing." Well, they decided that I am hindering her progress (aka baby-ing her too much) and that Laney would do better without me in the room. Can you believe it? I mean, really. It's downright cruel to pull a baby away from her momma while she's screaming and crying and begging and pleading. I mean me. Delaney's fine with it. Me? not-so-much! ***Sniffles*** I'll be okay. I need to learn to let go a little. Be a little less clingy. Or not. I guess I could just shop around for a new therapist:)
I'm still feeling yucky from this nasty flu I've been fighting with. I hope to feel better in the next few days:) I've got alot going on this week. Paisley has tutoring after school (2 days), Destiny has counseling, Laney has 2 more days of therapy and a home visit on Friday. I'm also planning to get started on some hairbows for two special little girls as soon as I am feeling up to it. Right now they are just in the "idea" stage. I haven't really had time or the desire to "create" anything since finishing the girls' Christmas dresses and bows, but I do have some pretty good ideas for those special bows I plan to make. I hope to have them made and shipped by the end of the month:)
Well, thats's all I got for this post. Tune in next time for a *hopefully* healthier Kaleena.
Well, I'm glad that I didn't put any make-up on yet! The song playing doesn't help with my emotions either! :) LOL
ReplyDeleteYou are such a thoughtful friend Kaleena and I love you. Thank you for thinking of me and Isaiah. God has something great coming out of all of this. I don't know what it is, but I feel it so strongly.
Love to you friend,
Jenny
Sorry to hear that you haven't been able to kick the flu yet. I know how you feel about letting go of your kids. It is very difficult and something that I find if I mentally prepare myself a little in advance, I do better with it!! Good luck, it gets easier, I promise!
ReplyDeleteThat does seem so cruel to make you leave the room during therapy, esp when your baby is crying for you!! You just have to remind yourself that you're doing what's best for her. I've been accused of babying my kids too...in fact, I told Cole and Bella that I'm not walking them to class anymore. I'll walk them up to the front of the school and then I'll watch from afar to make sure they get in their classroom okay. It broke my heart to see Cole crying as he walked into the classroom. The teacher made a huge deal out of the fact that they got to the classroom just fine on their own. But the look on his face absolutely tore my heart in two. It's hard to let go even when we know it's what's best for them at times.
ReplyDeleteHang in there...hope you feel better soon!

ReplyDeleteI completely understand about how great it is to have them home from school...I was torn - I was happy that they wanted to go back to school - I was also looking forward to a couple hours of quiet each day - but oh, so sad we didn't just get to 'hang out' all day! Praying you feel better real soon!
ReplyDeletePretty rainbow!
Poor baby...it is hard to see them crying for you. I hope that you feel better. It is not fun being a mommy and being sick. But we must press on...for the kids:)
ReplyDeleteGet well soon. When your schedule is packed with places to go and all you can think about is resting, it is really hard to motivate yourself. I'm sure they will ask you each day what your counter 'til the last day of school says. Therapy is truly better without the mom, but it is hard to accept, isn't it? Hugs to everybody - take care of yourself, Kaleena.
