I have recently been seeing on the news, and hearing from some friends on social media that school time is starting for a lot of the kids out there. This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love Fall; as a parent starting a new school year was always so much fun. I'm not going to lie, I was very happy with the thought that my kids were going back to school and would be out of my hair for a while everyday! I was always pretty done with summer by the middle of August. Three kids at home for the summer was exhausting!
Now that I am 50, and my kids are 30, 26 and 25, I can't help but get a tad melancholy with a little bit of empty nest syndrome. I love being a mom! I try and text or call my kids several times a week, if not everyday! I miss them on a daily basis. What I would do to have them young again and go school shopping, watch water polo games or even give them their back to school haircuts! (I still cut the majority of their hair, but it's not quite the same.) What great memories I have of raising my kids. I miss them tremendously.
What I try to think about to get me out of this funk, is how well my adult children are doing out in society. Their dad and I must've done something right. All three of them are kind, loving, caring, have moral values, are knowledgeable, and live successful lives. I can't go back in time and relive their childhoods as much as I sometimes want to, but I can still always be there for them; my ringer on my phone is always on even in the middle of the night. I will always be their mom. So as I get through a lonely day without their giggles, jokes, sarcasm, hugs and kisses, I can keep in my mind that they love me dearly and they will always be my Chick-a-doo, Pipity and Bean Dean!!!
