So it’s finally here. The day before the day I bring our son with allergies to preschool and put my trust into people to keep my child safe. Kind of scarey. I’ve been purposely NOT thinking about it. I don’t want to make myself sick with anxiety about all the ‘what if’s’ that could happen. (insert deep breath here) So I think what I’ve been doing is instead busying myself in other places and things and just pushing all of those thoughts out. You know what’s gonna happen don’t you? All of those feelings
are going to come bursting out at once! Oh yeah… I’m gonna be THAT MOM! You know the one I’m talking about…the hyseterical, crazy lady, crying, not letting go of her child on their first day of school Mom. (another deep breath) So now that I’m realizing all of this right now I wonder if I should give them a heads up? Who am I kidding? They do this for a living. They probably spotted me a mile away as soon as they heard the words ‘food allergy’. I forget sometimes that I’m the rookie here.
I’m thankful that his teacher is another allergy Mom. Between that and my deep breaths, I think I can make it. (deep breath…hold it, hold it…ahhhhhhhhh) Here goes nothing!
