....trying to figure out a balance between work and family. I have a major problem and the problem is I LOVE MY JOB and I LOVE MY FAMILY. I want to put every ounce of myself into each of these things and that is absolutely impossible. I just wish there were so many more hours in the day or that Lukas, Jakob and Zackary could hang out in my classroom all day everyday with me! (Future idea for the Kristin Samuels Charter School..onsite staff daycare.)
I was at school all day today LOVING creating Institute Day presentations, letters for my upcoming family literacy nights and lesson planning for my classroom. Each time I looked up at the pictures of my munchkins my heart ached for them but the minute I focused on how to get children to love reading, I was completely lost in my work.
I think this is a battle I will face my entire life. I always find things I love and I put my all into them. One thing I am trying to do this year is leave work at work so when I am home I can completely focus on my kids. So many new things this year to look forward to at work..union rep, family literacy night, coaching cheerleading (say what?), social committee chair and starting my type 75 graduate program...but none of those compare to being the mommy to Luke, Jake and Zack...that is my most important job.
