This past year I started teaching again...For the past ten years I have been home with my kids. I have to admit it's been a bit more difficult than I had anticipated. A few things that have made it easier are 1) moving within a mile of where I teach and 2) having most of my kids at the same school. However, by the time 4:00 rolls around I feel exhausted. I sometimes wonder what I did with all my time before.
A few positive benefits of working have been the security of a paycheck every two weeks and having that social connection with educated adults during the day. And last but not least having my summers of is huge!! So this summer my goal is get more organized so that I can find that balance that I so need for the coming school year.
