I spent the day in bed, absolutely uninterrupted. I haven’t had an uninterrupted day to myself in years. Not since having my little guy. So today was kind of a big deal for me.
Daily Musings 64 “is it self-care if…”
Daily Musings 63 “3R’s”
Rest. Reflect. Rejuvenate.
Daily Musings 62 “tattoo”
Self-care is getting a new 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 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 54- Day 11 “sing”
In those times I often forget to sing and that’s when I need to sing the most.
