I have been very honest about my struggle the last few months... I try to make sure that my blog is a mix of teaching ideas, but enough real life, too! Do you ever look at blogs/FB/etc. and think that your classroom just isn't cutting it? Ever look at people's pictures and wonder if your kiddos are the only ones acting like turds?!?! I want my blog to be a place where I can be honest and be REAL!
The real deal is that there are stacks of papers laying around my room... waiting to be graded and filed. I have at least 2-3 loads of laundry that need to be done. I haven't mopped my floors in over a week. My kids ate mac and cheese for dinner and I had a pack of peanut butter crackers.
I feel very overwhelmed as soon as I walk into the school building... and very thankful each day when bedtime comes.
Losing my daughter and knowing that she was supposed to be here next month makes each day leading up extremely hard. There are moments during each day that I feel completely paralyzed by my thoughts... truly unable to move or speak. I am surrounded by people who want to help me... I just don't know what I need {does that even make sense?}
I always appreciate people's honesty in real life or on Facebook, blogs, etc. People who will say, "The dinner I made tonight sucked!" or "My kids are really being turds today!" I think it helps to know that other women {and men} are out there doing this working mom thing... and dealing with real life stuff... and making it work! So here's to us... the multi-taskers!
If you're struggling... please know that you are not alone!
