Odd Sensation
Yesterday, the camp bus pulled out of the church parking lot at 10:50 a.m. with Sam and 59 other campers on board. After they left, the first thing I did was drive to a noon meeting. It was a good meeting and I really needed to be there.
What an odd sensation not having Sam here. I did not realize how much he is on my mind in any given day. When I went to pick up movies after the meeting, I had to stop myself from picking up movies for him. And right now I keep thinking I need to fix breakfast for him. Only taking care of me feels to weird. ¶ 7/10/2007 05:11:00 AM

I used to cry when I saw a schoolbus. It reminded me of watching my little six year old daughter get on it and drive away. So small to be on a big bus, and going somewhere without me.
On the other hand, I now cherish the peace I have to work and write and think and read when the kids are elsewhere....

I know exactly the feeling you are speaking of...and it has been many years since my children were small.
I felt like this the first few times I left Manther at daycare. You'll get comfortable with taking care of you just in time for Sam to return.
kids.... when they with you, you wish for a 10 minute break to drink your tea, and when they're not there, you don't know what to do with yourself....
I remember the first time I went to the grocery store after the kids were all gone... I had not a clue what to buy... peanut butter? nope. mac & cheese? nope. etc., etc. It takes a while. But yours happily is temporary!
ditto on taking care of only yourself feeling weird. i sometimes wonder who i was before the kids and husband...
I hope you get used to it real quick Trudge because no sooner will you be pleasantly relaxed in a bath shaving those furry legs of yours that you will be rushing to pick Sam up! And then he will be back in your arms again:)
