It’s Labor Day and school is taking over my brain. Here’s what I have going on:
Since I started teaching, we have always started school the Wednesday after Labor Day. In recent years we have met our students the day before school starts. So tomorrow I will be meeting my kiddos and their families. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I have so much to do before they arrive tomorrow!
Now, do you see that pink heart near the bottom of the image? This month there is a love yourself section. It’s a place to pick things I’d like to accomplish this month.
I’m a bit of a workaholic. I bring school work home about 90% of the time. The good news is there are nights the work comes home and I never even touch it. Good intentions, I guess. I want to dedicate two nights a week to family. This means I won’t bring ANY school work home on those nights. In a perfect world I could combine all three together, get it all done during the school day, and devote every night to family. For now I will start small with two days a week. Wish me luck!
Head on over to Farley’s blog to see what everyone else is up to.
I hope you're able to dedicate two nights a week or more to your family. I think that's the hardest part of being a teacher. There is always so much to do! Good luck!
YES- take those nights off! Great idea! Thanks for stopping over to my blog! 🙂 Yours is great! I love the name!

Storie,
I hear you when it comes to leaving work at work! I'm starting to get anxious about that because I am starting an online course in October and struggle to manage the workload, job responsibilities, and most important, my family life. It sure is a balancing act! I like your idea of making a goal of setting aside family-only time every week. It may ease some of my guilt of always having to do work.
Have a great first day!!

Love your school goal. It sounds more more realistic to me than what I had in mind 🙂
