Haley is officially a preschool drop out & I couldn't be happier about it! I'm amazed at the weird looks that say "Why on earth would you pull your 3 year old out of preschool, she'll probably never get into Harvard?" Seriously people, she's 3! I had very mixed feelings about her going to preschool this year, most of them were MY feelings about sending my youngest off to "school" two mornings a week. I love her, I love being with her and I wasn't ready. I thought keeping her home this year would be selfish since she acted like she really wanted to go. She didn't cry when I dropped her off, seemed to like it but I did notice some mornings she & Harper would say, " Who has to go to school today? We want to stay home" and then one morning Haley says, " I need a break. School gives me a headache"...yes, it was just Haley being Haley but I think it was God nudging me a little. Prayed about it & when Jason got home, I said, "Please don't think I'm a crazy Mom but I want to pull Haley out of preschool" He didn't think I was crazy mom and now she's a drop out. We now have a few days a week when we can just stay home or do something fun on our schedule. Can I keep the outside world from eating into our family time forever? No, but I can certainly try to carve out as much time for us as I can while I can.
Many of my mom friends dread school breaks & the summer, I'm not that Mom. I crave uninterrupted, unscheduled time without the rushing around that school brings. I'm not supermom, they drive me crazy sometimes, I want to run away sometimes, sometimes I just can't answer one more question without thinking my head will explode but they're still my favorite people to be around.
