Feels weird...

My stomach is doing this weird jumpy thing, as if I drank to much coffee.

I feel naked or lost. I'm very rarely separated from my children and when I am they are here at home with their daddy.

I think I'm nervous almost anxious. My friends tell me I should appreciate this time to myself but I can't get rid of this feeling.

Does anybody else feel weird like this when they are separated from their kids?? I think I need to find something to do so I can keep my mind off of it for awhile. I bet that will help.

I feel that way when I am away from my kids. I know I should be enjoying the free time, but I normally can't get them off my mind. I feel lost with them not there. But I do try to relax some. I'll get a good book or even come here to PC so I don't feel so alone anymore. Or you could even call a friend on the phone... that might help too! Good luck and PM me anytime you need to.

Hugs, Jenn

My husband and I went out for our 2nd Anniversary and put our son in daycare. It was the first time that we had ever gone anywhere without him.

He LOVED it, having kids to play with. We HATED it. We had already ordered our dinner and had the waiter make it a take out order (not really a take out kind of resturant). It broke our hearts, we expected him to be there sobbing waiting for us to pick him up.

He so enjoyed having kids his own age to play with, everyone in our neighborhood was older than he was.
