You may have noticed that I have not blogged in a while... I looked back and realized that my last entry was a week before I went back to work in the fall. That pretty much summarizes my life... When I am teaching full time and being a full time mom (while is really like working two full time jobs) I don't have much time for extras.
When I started this blog, just before I went back to work after Shallen was born, I wanted to have a place where I could relay my life as a full time working mom of four.
Everyone I spoke to told me that I would need to find a way to balance work and "life". I seem to be managing ok (some days) but this blog shows me that when I am working I can't seem to find time to blog... Which is something I enjoy and I hope u enjoy too!
I just got a new iPhone 4s that I just figured out how to blog from!!! So I hope that will help me to keep in touch more.
My New Years resolution is going to be to try to blog at least once per month... Hmmm I should look back on this blog to see what my resolution was last year!!! This sounds pretty familiar! ;)
Now back to the work life balance... I sit here at the Tisdale recplex blogging as I take a break from my marking.... While my girls are in a Dance workshop in the auditorium.... Mark or watch my girls dance.... Oh the dilemma!
My small pile of marking.... I have two more piles this size at home!
I know that this may seem like an easy decision but in reality when one is a teacher this is a decision that is made daily. If I choose not to mark (which I think I do too often, hence my marking piles up)it affects my students and I get momma guilt in I don't watch my kids... Because really in the big picture what is more important??
