Before I started my new job as a librarian and then another new job as a teacher at our after school program, I wrote lots of extra blogs, made big plans for easy dinners, and vowed to go outside once in a while to “help” with chores. I’m such a planner, but my follow through sucks. Honestly, I can’t be hard on myself. It was bound to get crazy when I leave the house before the sun comes up and get home after the sun is down. I’m obviously lacking some vitamin D, eating a wee bit of junk food, and living in hibernation mode as soon as I get home. So no, you don’t get the funny blog this week about the new lambs (yes, there are new lambs and I didn’t even bother to post about it). Actually they seem like teenagers now and no one likes teenagers anyway. Teenagers think they are funny and they are not. You just get me admitting a few things about life as a full time working mom, juggling too many things at once:
This is not a list of complaints. I am loving my new jobs and the craziness that comes with it. But I’m not going to lie either. It’s hard! I’m still adjusting so here’s to all the things I keep forgetting in the chaos like printing a new device barcode for the student who has asked me every day for three months. Or sweeping and vacuuming that used to be done on the regular. Or those quick trips to the park with my kids. I’m weighed down by mom-guilt on all the things that I haven’t been doing or the things I’ve just plain forgotten. Do you know how many things a mom has to sign in a week? Even missing one little initial on a reading log can feel like major failure. I’m going to celebrate my accomplishments though to wrap this up. As my husband can attest based on our water bill, at least I’m taking showers. Get the book on Amazon!Leave a Reply. |
