It can be so hard to prioritize when everything seems so important. And I TOTALLY understand how being a good teacher can make you a better mother. I feel the same way about my writing. It has taught me so much and has fed my soul in ways that make me so much more available to my family- in a healthier and more balanced way!<br /><br />God is good to give us all we need to serve Him!<br /><br />Many blessings, KariKarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189228866239286310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813401571399214066.post-71885796564224310982013-08-28T13:49:04.960-04:002013-08-28T13:49:04.960-04:00Sue--

They enjoy learning- for the most part. Thankfully, we are now in our second week and my anxiety HAS proven unfounded. Things are going well! :)<br /><br />God Bless, KariKarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189228866239286310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813401571399214066.post-4699324544350551782013-08-20T11:22:42.411-04:002013-08-20T11:22:42.411-04:00I agree with Sue Elvis...one day at a time.
Let&#...I agree with Sue Elvis...one day at a time.<br /><br />Let's pray for each others, shall we???!!! I too need balance. One of the reasons, besides just wanting to be at home with my kids, that I quit teaching was that I was unable to balance. I was a work-aholic. I just couldn't figure out how other teachers could walk out the door at 3:30 and I stayed until 5 PM every night...and then on the weekends. One thing that is so different this year is that I no longer have just one child at home, needing me, but three. And two are school-agers with extracurriculars. No, we aren't crazy overscheduled or anything like that, but having the after-school commitments actually helps me to balance and better organize my days and time. I don't have the luxury to waste time or focus on unnecessary details...I think I might actually be becoming a better teacher b/c of my own kids and their need for a balanced parent. Am I making any sense here...or just rambling!

I like your plan to take one day at a time!...Kari,<br /><br />I like your plan to take one day at a time! It sounds like you had a good day.<br /><br />How do your children feel about the first day of school? Do they get anxious like you? Maybe they are looking forward to a new year of challenges!<br /><br />Praying your year gets off to a good start.<br /><br />God bless!Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.com
