Departure from Stay-at-home-Momville

I woke up before anyone else this morning. I'm not sure why, because I was planning on sleeping in and snuggling with the girls as much as possible. Kind of like building up a reserve of sleep and happy memories.I have been so lucky to have stayed home with my little darlings for the last almost 2 years, but tomorrow I am hanging up my stay at home mom cap.
 


 
They can be so sweet
 
 
I am a ball of emotions...Happy, excited, nervous, scared! Is it even possible to feel al of this at once? It's not like I am starting high school again, or am going off to war! I am about to embark on a life changing journey and leave the comfort of being at home with the girls. This is something that lately we've had no schedule and slept as late as we want and had lots of play dates. Other then doing treatments and having naptime, there's been no real routine, we just go with the flow! Sometimes I wonder how I ever fit school into our " non-schedule", we just seem so busy being busy?!
Having a picnic
 
Putting away toys for their baby cousin
Feeding the ducks at the pond
 
Tomorrow starts a chaotic schedule, early mornings, long days, exciting adventures and new routines. I am exstatic about getting my nursing career started and so blessed to have a job at the hospital I hoped!We are even more fortunate to have friends and family step in to help with the girls, and alleviate some of the worry. Even though there may be tears at first, I know they are in good hands. In fact they'll probably be having more fun with their new friends doing something different then being with me, maybe I should worry they won't want me to come home? No matter what, I know we will survive, and find our new " normal"!
