Terrified

Geoff just left for work, the kids will wake up any second, and then it's just me...and them...for eleven hours.  And Seth A. will be apoplectic when he realizes Daddy is not going to be here.  Deep breathe, Ruth.

I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

    You CAN, you CAN! And furthermore you WILL. And at the end of today you will have DONE it - past tense. And how good are you going to feel then, huh?

    And also - we're all cheering for you.

    You can do it Ruth. Praying for you today. Pace yourself, go easy on yourself and take some shortcuts if you can. Hey - if you all stay in your jammies then you'll already be ready for bed!

    Hating weekday mornings over here, too...even when there aren't tantrums to start the day (although I have one who has been getting worked up within 5 minutes of waking recently...hoping it's just a "phase"...I just dislike mornings in general, so three kids doesn't make it any easier.

    So very much hoping that there is peace in your home today.

    You can do it Ruth.
    One day at a time (or one hour at a time). You will gradually find your routine and it WILL get easier!

    Hang in there, just focus on the "now", one moment at a time. You will find your groove soon!

    John went back to work 2 weeks ago. It is hard. But you are an awesome mom and you will do great!

    My heart totally went out to you this morning when I read this. I had the same feeling 2 weeks ago...but I only had to deal with one child because I got to send the other two off to school! I'm so curious how it went. Get some sleep and I'm looking forward to the next post to get the details! Remember, take it one hour at a time. That is my motto!
