Wind is out of my sails...



Today I am sad.

Sad for a variety of reasons, but the biggest reason had to go back to Utah today.


As excited as I was for her to arrive two weeks ago, that is how let down I am today.

I don't know if I will ever get used to sending a child to live and go to school far away from my maternal embrace.

It has to happen, right? I mean, they can't live with you forever, right? Where did the years go?

Sometimes I think I'm in a time warp, and I don't know how to get out.

I know I should be posting happy things about how great the holidays were with everyone under one roof - and they were, don't get me wrong! And I'll post all about them, tomorrow, maybe. But today I think I'll just be sad until I can get back into the groove of life with the youngest 3 children (whom I dearly love and adore as much as the oldest - PLEASE don't ever leave me, OK?) and my sweet husband.

Oh, well, at least she left a bunch of stuff behind for us to look at... (Thanks, Lyss! Love you!)

(I'll send these things when I am not so verklempt...)
**sigh**

It's perfectly ok to be sad Kris. Personally, I just can't imagine sending one off! I seriously don't think that time will ever come, will it? Nah. You are wonderful. Tomorrow you won't be as sad. Then you can post about Christmas. Looking forward to it!

I will be sad to not see Kaylee's junk lying around too. (Maybe not the retainer cover or the gross retainer with food on it...) Hang in there!
