Self-care is getting a new tattoo. 😆😌
Daily Musings 62 “tattoo”
Daily Musings 61 “changes”
’m going to continue to put forth every effort in ensuring my kids learn and love learning. But my work ends when I leave that school building. Teaching consumes me. It’s hard for me to separate it from other areas of my life. It’s draining mentally, physically and emotionally and in so many ways, it’s impossible. But I love it. And I love my kids. But when I get home, every part of me needs to be for my little guy. And after he goes to sleep, every part of me needs to be for me.

Daily Musings 59 “26 students”
My 25 students along with 7 colleagues (3 ECE's, 1 prep teacher, 1 SNA, a student teacher and myself) were back (or able to be back) in the physical school building after 2 weeks of mandatory self-isolation due to a positive Covid-19 result amongst a student in my class.
Daily Musings 58 “breathe”
I washed and combed my hair for the first time in weeks, maybe months. Trying to remember to breathe.
Daily Musings 57 – Day 14 “Nikki Giovanni”
Today though, I find myself drawn to the work of Nikki Giovanni.
Daily Musings 56 – Day 13 “Be gentle”
We’re not living in the easiest of times. Be gentle with yourself and others.
Daily Musing 55 – Day 12
Why do they treat us like we have no feelings. Like relationships, connections and stability don’t matter in education? Why do they keep talking to us about mental health and well-being when they’ve made it clear they don’t care?
Daily Musings 53 – Day 10 “baby hoarder”
So here I am, in my new home and I’m trying to purge. I no longer have the space to provide them all with a home. But it’s so damn hard. I picked up one of my rattiest pairs of shoes first, sure that I’d be able to toss them into my dump pile, but no. I started to remember what made them special.
Daily Musings 52 – Day 9 “leave approved”
My ‘leave’ was finally approved. Not sure why I had to apply for a ‘leave’ when I’m still expected to teach 🙄.
