I still don't feel like a mom all the time yet. I love my son dearly, but I halfway keep expecting his "real" parents to show up and take him home. I think part of it is that I'm still not used to being a SAHM either. That's all I can figure. I had him over summer break, and I think my teacher brain is still confused b/c it just feels like the longest, most exhausting, coldest summer break ever. I feel terrible saying this, but I kind of miss my old life.

I remember these feelings all too well.... I had a really difficult time adjusting at first, and I think it was mostly do the fact that I really thought it would have come naturally to me. I grew up around kids and taking care of them and I teach

Im the complete opposite. I can't remember what I did before I became DDs mom. I am so happy and fulfilled being home with her that I am really nervous and sad that I have to get back to my old life and get back to work again in July.
