There's A Little Black Spot on the Sun Today!
I heard this song yesterday afternoon while driving home from that horror event called my daughter's pre-K graduation! I used to love this song, way back when, forever ago, in the time when music was great and life was carefree and fun! Okay, so the drama is running high this morning...anyway, I still love this song. I listen to this cd probably more than most in my collection...it brings back great memories. As I was listening yesterday I realized that it was summing up my mood very well...."there's a little black spot on the sun today.." and all. I was really sad - sadder than I thought I would be, I never expected the emotions of the day, which is probably exactly why they hit so hard.
Today I woke up in a better frame of mind, hard not to when a sweet little child is crawling in your bed wanting to cuddle, but my brain is still singing this song. I guess for at least a little bit I am going to be the "queen of pain" around my house as my heart and brain adjust to the fact that my baby is not a baby anymore and soon she will be walking into school alone, picking out her lunch, carrying her own tray and sitting at a desk learning stuff! Yea, don't even ask about the Kindergarten Open House - it might as well have been a house of torture. Ugh! Let's just say momma is glad yesterday is over!!
Enjoy the music...

You will have even more adventures and special memories as she grows older. Just because she is growing up doesnt mean she will totally grow away from you. I'm --how old am I? --I guess close enough to say I'm 43 (sigh), but I still see my mom almost every day. And I enjoy doing this with her!
I dont need to tell you this--cause really--I know that you are thinking how blessed you are to have a wonderful, happy, intelligent, healthy little girl who just graduated from Pre-K!!
I often wonder are any of us ever really ready for when our child makes the next step to independence? I wonder if I will ever be ready for my child to go off to college. It is a joy to watch her grow, but a bittersweet one.
Thinking of you and hoping you are able to fully be happy in the moment today.
Oddly enough, I think that this all helps me to fully appreciate and be happy in each moment!!Thanks for all the warm wishes....
