Last Night

My brain flooded with thoughts of my son going back to "school/daycare".  He is four years old. He will start Pre-K in the Autumn. 

It was 3:00 o'clock in the morning.  A worried voice woke me up.
Blood rushed through my head and so as my worries. 
My heart pounds. 
You see, I have mixed emotions about my son going back to daycare on Monday.  Yes, monday next week.

Many questions flooded my brain.
Why does he need to go to day care now? Can't it just wait until Pre-K starts?

Are we making the right decision? 

Is it too early for him to be "going to school"? He will be in school for a very long time. I do not want to burn him out. 

Can we afford it?
My husband says "yes", with no further explaination.
My response. "yes, BUT, we have no savings at all"

Is this ok?

Is this ok?

Is this really ok?

When I was at my son's age, my parents and grandparents were well-nourished during their time.  Savings was not an issue.

I'm obviously not ok with our situation. 
My husband's words weren't convincing me.

I am a worried freak mother and i loose many sleep over it.

After two hours of talking it through.  My eyes slowly droped back to sleep. 

When comes monday, I will be okay.  That I know for sure. 
Be calm.

  1. It is a great decision to send Daniel back to school. He can learn a ton there, never too early to learn those social skills!! Be proud that you are able to give your son this opportunity and let go... :)
