Working on balance in May was a lot harder than I originally thought. May is a crazy month for any teacher. The last couple weeks of work were so crazy, and I had to breathe and just tackle one task at a time. I would definitely say that my work consumed much more of my time that I would have liked, but at the end of the year things just pile up.
Now, is a completely different story. For the first time in my life I am a stay at home mom, for the next 10 weeks. It has been amazing to see all the little moments I would normally be missing throughout the day. But, to be fair there is a lot of things I will not miss when I go back to work in August. Things like trying to put my 4 year old to nap everyday. Some days he goes straight to nap without complaint. The next its like his bed is on fire. He won't stay in it for more than 5 seconds.
Z has been teething the last couple of weeks, so I am so glad I was the one home with him to comfort and soothe him.
I think the goal for May was a good effort, but I think this is going to be my hardest challenge. I have to passions in my life : 1.) My family and 2.) Teaching -- And sometimes they compete for my attention. I just need to learn how to balance the two.
This next "month's" (I am already half way through June) resolution is to work on Health. I have started working on some areas of this, I just now need to keep motivated and continue working to find my bliss.. Stay tuned !!
