Unfortunately, I had a mandatory meeting at work and that lasted almost 8 hours. She was so mad at me for leaving and as I sat in the auditorium listening to what I felt was nonsense and unrelated to my job in the cafeteria I felt really guilty about leaving her. When I gave birth to my son, my firstborn, I became a stay-at-home mom. It was important to me that I would be at home with my children full-time and not have to leave them in the hands of anyone else. It's been a great experience and one I'm thankful for. Getting a job in the cafeteria meant that I could still be home when the kids are home and I love it. The extra income has helped a lot. I'm required to have a certain amount of hours of training/meetings each year and this meeting plus the two hour one the day before covered it. I just hated leaving my daughter on her special day.
My husband had the day off and took the kids to a place nearby where the kids can jump and slide on inflatables. I'm glad they had fun while I was away.
When I came home we met my parents at Old Country Buffet for dinner. Then we came home to have cake and open presents. She was pretty excited about all her gifts, which included a Barbie camper that she had asked for.
I can't believe my girl is 8. She's really growing up. She still loves Barbie's and baby dolls. She has a lot of friends in school. I see her in the cafeteria surrounded by lots of girls and she's always laughing and joking around with them. At home she will be asked by friends to play at their houses. It's been hard for me letting her go but I can't stop her from being the social butterfly that she is. She's very sweet and super sensitive. She's also getting ready for her fifth year old dance and loves it so much.
She's struggled a bit with school but seems so determined to do better this year as a third grader. I'm so proud of her.
Here's to an amazing year, Baby Girl! I love you so much.
