I realize I am incredibly over-protective and maybe sometimes a little "controlling" when it comes to my kids. I don't mean it in a bad way, I really do it all out of love and concern for my sweet kiddos. So, when I just watched a van pull away with my little girls in it with two other moms and their daughters I think I almost cried. Not only did my girls go without me or a close family member, but they were headed to a fancy girls only swimming party.
At first, I declined the invitation for the girls. Phil had to work, I have Logan (a boy) and I had 5 extra kids all week and wasn't sure if they would still be around. But, these sweet ladies were willing to take my girls so they could enjoy the fun. I know, how nice for the ladies to offer. But sometimes it is hard for me to let go. Funniest thing...Mariah started saying she just wanted to stay home and "take a nap" - hilarious kid - what five year says they are willing to miss a swimming party to take a nap?? My youngest, that is who!!
So, I am not sure what has happened to the mom I thought I was. To be honest, I haven't quit thinking about them since they left. When my cell phone rang and it was the mom that had my girls, I think my heart stopped for a minute. But, this is just all part of growing up...not just for my kids but for me as a mom. And, won't I be happy when I see their sweet faces in a few hours.
Is it time yet?
