One last post for this week.
I would be remiss if I didn’t share this, especially for stay-at-home moms. Do you really feel this way??? This has been the funniest thing I’ve seen all week.
Lindsay Ferrier, who blogs at Suburban Turmoil, wrote a piece for The City Paper, Nashville’s Daily News about the beginning of Momcation, the day the kids go back to school.
Here’s two excerpts:
Just as our children race out of class on the last day of school, shrieking with anticipation and throwing their backpacks in the air, so do their mommies let out loud whoops the moment those kids walk back through the school doors in August. The merry horn honking and engine revving you hear in the school drop-off lane that first morning isn’t coincidental — School’s in, baby! Time for mommies everywhere to Par – Tay.
and
I stare out my kitchen window and dream of the day when my smallest children both are safely contained within the walls of the local elementary school. I imagine myself walking little Bruiser to his kindergarten classroom for the first time, my eyes spilling over with tears. “Don’t be sad, Mommy,” he’ll say, giving me a big hug. “Oh, don’t worry about me, little man,” I’ll reply, pushing him a bit too hard into the classroom “These are tears of joy, dude,” I’ll whisper as I saunter back down the hall. Free at last. Free at last. Thank God, almighty, I’ll be free at last.
Read the whole thing, and check out her blog too. She’s hilarious.
Have a nice weekend everybody!
