...and it was hard. I cried. Nope, I'm not lying.


Little Miss Fin Fin has taken to her mother's leg in social situations and this mama has had enough! We decided that it was time for a little socialization, a la Mom's Day Out. So, every Wednesday from 9a to noon the babes say sayonara to their comfort zone and are off to play with 'friends.'


Although I know that the children truly do need this, it was not an easy morning. We had hyped up 'school' for the past few days and packed our new backpacks for the day's festivities. I was praying for a quick and easy getaway and, guess what? I got it. No tears, no buh byes, just trains and buses. Maybe that's why it was so hard. Either way, I was the ridiculous mother needing comforting from the 60 year old preschool teacher while my children played away in the next room.

I had to call my mom when I got to the car.

After pulling it together I DID manage to have a fabulous morning. I shopped, painted the stairs, framed a painting that Finley made and hung a few pics in the babes bathroom.

If I can only keep it together next Wednesday MDO will be good for us all!
