Days are gone

Livy started Pre-K this year and she loves it.  It's quite a bit of a change for all of us.  She's being exposed to new people and new things every day. Some good, some not so good. I've spent many a days on my knees in prayer while Livy is at school. I'm sure I worry more than I should but I'm a mom! I don't think I'll ever quit worrying. 

I started thinking back to a few years ago when Livy was a toddler.  There were days we'd stay in our pajamas all day and watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Our biggest worries were, "What will we cook for dinner tonight?" I knew the day would come when we wouldn't be home all day and I'd be escorting Livy around to all her activities.  A few years ago, that seemed exciting to me. Now, I want to stop time and make Livy a 3 year old again.  Is this normal? 

I think my problem is, I don't like being BUSY.  There was a time, I'd call up family and friends and say, let's go to lunch and shopping.  These days, we have to schedule out any sort of lunch/dinner dates.  That's life. People are busy.  I don't like it. I want my kids home with me all day long and not have to worry about driving them to school or activities.  Is this a normal feeling when your kids start school. Maybe it's the growing up blues.  I don't know.  Maybe I'll just keep having kids so I can keep them home forever. Errrrr. Derick may disagree;)

Do any other moms feel this way?  I've been talking with one of my sweet friends about it this morning.  I think I'm having a blue Tuesday.  I need to snap out of it!
