feeling blah today

I thought I would be happy and excited. I was until I got in my car and drove away. :( I dropped Fred off to his first day of preschool today. He was a champ and didn't cry or anything. He was hesitant at first, stuck close by me but didn't flip out when I left. I know he will be fine and it is a great thing for him. I am just stunned by my reaction. I didn't expect it at all. It has thrown me into a total slump today. I am pouty and unmotivated. I have so much to do but I want to sit on my couch and hold Will & watch bad tv. (actually did was Maury & Jerry Springer while Will napped on me)

I can't believe I dropped my baby off today and just left him there. I am laughing to myself because I know it is totally stupid of me. He is 3 and he will love it. Why am I a complete emotional mess over this? I thought I would be a mess when I left Will for the 1st day. I am blindsided by this response to Fred's 1st day. :(

Sorry to spew all this...just needed to have it said so hopefully I can move past this feeling and leave my house to run the last errands I need to run.

Re: feeling blah today

  • aww!  i think that is a perfectly normal reaction.  i am pretty sure that when my 3 year old goes off to preschool i'll be a mess as well.  they're growing up, so it's an emotional hit on us moms!!!
  • ok, bad mommy here, but can someone please send my 2 year old somewhere for even just a day???????????????????????????????????

  • I'm sorry, I can only imagine how hard that is.  I'm sure he's having a great time! Hang in there, it will get easier.

  • LMAO!!! Funny thing is Michele I have had those feelings more times than not lately...That is why I am so taken back by my mood. LOL

    If I was near you I would scoop up Ben and take him for the day for you. :)

    But I did just call to check up on Fred and he is doing great! He cried for a bit when I left but settled quickly and is having a good day. He got to ride the indoor train they have so that was a BIG hit with him! I feel better knowing he is doing ok. :)

  • Glad to hear you're feeling better and he's doing well!  Big hugs!
  • yay for a good day!

    I know - I was always the same way with Ben and daycare. I needed the break but at the same time didn't want to be without him.
