Daily Musings 70 “Friday night planning”
The week ended better than it started and for that I am thankful.
In terms of the classroom it means I’m getting by as best as I can.
I’m tired. This week has taken a lot out of me. I’m not drinking enough water. Likely not eating enough. My body is tight and sore to the point that it’s painful...
Meanwhile I sent my own little guy to daycare without any winter boots or snow pants. 🤦🏾♀️
Whenever I type 'really' in my writing, I delete it.

Rest. Reflect. Rejuvenate.
’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.

I washed and combed my hair for the first time in weeks, maybe months. Trying to remember to breathe.
