One of my 3 kids went back to school yesterday. My heart is 1/3 broken. </3 Ate’s classes are from early morning until late in the afternoon, so I will definitely be missing her big time. :'((
I always have separation anxiety this time of the year when I’ve spent 2 months of glorious summer vacation with the kids 24/7, only for them to be pulled out all of a sudden from my midst. This is why I need to get a life. I feel so empty without my kids. E-M-P-T-Y. At least I have the 2 younger piglets for another 2 weeks before their school gets joint custody. 😛
I want us to have a “first-day-of-school” tradition. Last year, I took her to school for her first day. She will forever be my baby girl & will never be too old for mommy to take to school. This year, I took my more confident college sophie to her first day again, and waited for her classes to finish so we can have lunch together. I want to give her memories & this one-on-one bonding time provides for memories to last a lifetime. <3
My perfect day doesn’t have to be being in the mall. I don’t need to have new bags, or shoes, or clothes. My perfect day doesn’t have to involve eating out or going out. Any day that Kap & my 3 kids are with me, be it in our room lounging the whole day vegging on my bed, is MY definition of a perfect day. (Even though Kap always hogs the remote & tv! And ALL my pillows!)
For now, I have to be content with having perfect weekends. When all the kids are home with me & the hubster and my heart is whole, my happiness is complete. <3

Naiingit ako dun sa "first day" school tradition. Naalala ko bigla si Nanay 😉 While reading this post naaala ko yung quote from Cecelia Ahern's book"nobody’s life is filled with perfect little moments. And if it were, they wouldn’t be perfect little moments"More than those moments, I guess what's more important is what me make from those "perfect little moments" Have a great day Mommy Jane 🙂

June 5, 2013 at 3:37 amNaku, paglaki ng baby girl mo & she goes to pre-school iiyak ka na rin, Michelle. hahaha! Baka magbantay ka pa. That's what I did before. 9 months pregnant with my boy & I was outside Jana's class waiting for her EVERY SINGLE DAY. Our kids define us. I can't imagine my life without them na talaga.

June 5, 2013 at 4:41 amYou are sooooo SWEET!!!!!!!!!! Your family is very lucky to have you 😀 😀 😀 especially since you have this first day tradition… COOL !!! I remembered my freshman year in ust. Back then, my mom came with me during my first few days and even during enrollment…. since I'm an Atenean in Espana I didn't know whats left and right. EXTREME CULTURE SHOCK!! Hahahaha. Good thing She was there…Just goes to show that you moms are the greatest!!! You know how to take care and handle us kids 😀 😀 😀

June 6, 2013 at 1:02 ami remember my eldest son's first day in pre-school, gusto ko umiyak when he went inside the classroom. and it's like, i don't want to leave, and would just want to watch how he's doing in the class. ako yung me separation anxiety. LOL.just last monday, i was also with him at his new school. parang ayoko na namang lumabas ng room. haha…i really make it a point to take a leave from work to spend these milestones with my kids. when my youngest goes to school in a few years i hope i'll cope better. 😀
