It's finally happened; my babies are leaving me. Tomorrow begins a new chapter in my life, and I'm feeling kind of lost. My youngest starts kindergarten (and my oldest, 1st grade), and I don't really know where to go from here. I've been a student, an employee, then a wife & mother. So...now what?
I know tomorrow will be hard - I cried for weeks when Dray started school- but this time, I'm also kind of excited. I barely remember what it's like to have quiet around here. At least, the kind where you aren't simultaneously enjoying being able to hear your thoughts AND wondering what is going on in the other room.
I've decided, at least at first, to try to hit the ground running on our new house. There are SO many projects I want to tackle. I can't decide what to do first. What's the most important? What's going to be the most fun? If I do the bedroom, we could finally have a space to relax in at night and forget about everything we still need to do for a while. But if I start in the laundry room, I can clear out all the clutter that's piled up in the main living space downstairs. And THAT would lead to being able to work on the bar and family spaces down there. Decisions, decisions...
