My Kids Finally Started School Abroad…

My kids finally started school abroad.
What I thought their first day would be like.
What it was actually like.
And…a couple things in between.

It’s been a long. Long road to get here. It’s basically felt like forever. One day, I’ll look back on this and forget how hard the last few months were. But right now it’s been difficult as all hell – still fresh, and still very real.

Please enjoy this very raw version of my morning. There was lots of “ums,” “ok, yeahs,” and pauses – I tried to delete them because, well, I absolutely overuse the filler words. A lot of staring off into space. My brain works faster than my mouth can speak, and there’s a small disconnect between the two.

But, either way, this was my day.
It was interesting in more ways than one.
All pretty positive…I think.

I mention some of this struggle last week in Things I Didn’t Expect About Being an Expat Mom.
