Ending my day on a bit of bummed note.
Lucy was supposed to start school on Monday. We were all very excited about it and talked about it pretty regularly. We made it such a positive thing that even I was looking forward to it.
I started thinking about all the things I would finally get done around the house and for myself. For example, I could make all my OB appointments on the days she was in school so I never had to worry about finding care for her. Or finally organizing different things around the house.
But sadly, we have to wait a few weeks (or possibly months) longer. While it ends up being good for me financially (I won't have to pay for the 2-3 weeks she's not in school while we visit my parents), I find myself completely bummed out at not having any me time. Which I realize is selfish. But I'm also sad for Lucy. This was a way for her to start a new routine and to make some new friends.
I've got my fingers crossed that things work out quickly-for all parties involved. Her teacher seems to be pretty amazing and I've only heard wonderful things about her teaching style. Lucy and I both fell in love with her classroom and her. She became Lucy's new friend 2 minutes after meeting her (which is rare for my little girl when it comes to adults).
I guess I have to look on the bright side of this. I have more time to spend with Lucy at the park, playground or having tea parties after breakfast. Everything happens for a reason...
How come they had to cancel classes? Sure hope it works out for both of you. Love you both and miss you. Mom Leone
ReplyDeleteThe classes are delayed because the teacher hasn't been able to complete all her military "training" to become a family child care (FCC) provider. In order for her and her husband not to get in trouble with the military and local government she has to complete certain paperwork and training. She's had a tough time getting it all done quickly and was hoping she could start by now, but they told her she could get in loads of trouble if she doesn't have the military's approval before providing care for anyone. They don't make it very easy to be a FCC provider here. Oh well, that's just the way things go sometimes I guess!
