Repeat: End of an Era
Same as the last two years, I am not writing my blog right now because I need to navigate the twins returning to college. Unlike the last two years, I didn’t aim to rerun a post from the same date, years earlier. Instead, I used a random date generator, and then took the closest post to that date, which is why you may see posts about winter in the middle of the summer.
I scheduled these posts so the blog wouldn’t be empty, and I could have space to process my feelings. A cop-out, but forgive me. Having them go is really, really hard. I need mental space to feel what I am feeling, help the kids through the transition, and sit in the quiet for a moment on the other side.
Why yes, that is a human tooth inside a ring. Isn’t that what everyone has on their desk?
Wait, let’s start over.
Last week, I noticed that the ChickieNob’s tooth was loose. For whatever reason, this one milestone didn’t bother me at all. I wondered if it was the milestone itself or the fact that it is the first one we’ve hit since giving away most of our baby things. You would think I’d be more of a wreck. But I was really excited to play tooth fairy.
