Mommy Anxiety

Tomorrow I have to take Madilyn for her Kindergarten physical. I have mixed feelings about this. One part of me is ecstatic because she is so excited to start school. The other part of me is crying-hard. I am not ready for her to be in school. I am not ready to be the mommy of a kindergartener. I am definitely not ready to hand her over to strangers for 5 days a week and trust that they will watch her and nurture her the way I would, or at least the way I would want them to. Oh, such is life. This will be the first of many heartbreaking events for me in her life, this I am sure of.
