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.

Welcome Home Charlie Company





Today we went to the homecoming parade for Charlie Company of the Illinois National Guard. It was amazing. It was breathtaking the amount of support that these guys and girls received. I don't personally know any of them, but I am grateful that they are willing to fight for our freedoms. God Bless America!!!
