Cutting the Cord

I've been a SAHM for three years. I always thought I'll go back to work when Char goes to school. Although I went on plenty of interviews in the past couple months, I always viewed them as practice for the future when the time is right. Last Friday, I received an unexpected email regarding a teaching position which needed to be fulfilled ASAP. I proceeded with the interview process, thinking there's no way they can also offer my son a full-time position so late in the game if I were offered the job. However, they were able to accommodate him. I also didn't think we'll be able to find an affordable daycare for Charlotte. I viewed that as a sign that maybe now would not be the right time to work. However, we were able to find a daycare that we (including Char) all liked. As hard as I looked for signs of "no", each potential "no" turned into a "yes". 

So now, I will be cutting the cord starting tomorrow. I've been with my kids for three years and have been there to witness every single baby milestone with them. Am I an emotional wreck right now? Mos def! As much as these rascals have driven me up the wall this summer, I'm still going to miss my rascals like crazy. So the rest of August will be quite the transition for all of us. I just wish I had more time to end the summer with the rascals so I could take them on one last Happy Hollow adventure or just do something more fun before I start working again. 

I always thought it would be the kids who would have a hard time transitioning, but it looks like I might have an equally hard time being away from them too. So, here's to a bittersweet new beginning starting tomorrow...

I guess I can always look forward to the crazies after work
