I need an empty nest icon

No, noth­ing shock­ing has hap­pened. But Katie did start school today, and I feel as if she’s done need­ing me.

It did­n’t hit me near­ly this hard last year, for what­ev­er rea­son. It seems more “real” now. She’s just so grown up! 

In years past, too, I stayed at home because I was home­school­ing. The Mom­my. Now, I’m at home because I’m dis­abled. That’s a lot hard­er to stom­ach, too.

Ick.
