Mom Guilt- The Struggle is Real!

Image
It comes to no surprise for those of you that know me, I love to write. Unfortunately, my writing has taken a back seat lately because I have been busy being a mom, finishing my degree, and working as a 6th grade teacher. This has left me with hardly any time to write, but to be honest it wasn't the schedule that was too demanding, it was the mom guilt.  I honestly felt guilty for taking any time to myself, even to do something that I love. I felt bad for finishing my degree and working, I felt bad for having to take the time to cook dinner and clean the house, I just felt guilty...all the time! I felt like no matter what I did, I was taking away the precious time with my children and that I was loosing potential memories with my children. I would look at pictures of my friends on Facebook and see all of the amazing post and think "wow, look at how much fun her children are having!" It's not that my children weren't having fun, believe me they are spoiled rotten...

Take The Vacation

We have made going to the Florida Keys an annual summer vacation spot. We rent a house, make home cooked meals, fish, swim, sing, dance, and so much more. For our family, its the perfect place to just get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday and just RELAX! Sometimes, it is hard to break away from our busy routine but when I am old and grey, I want to look back at my life and see that I have enjoyed my family and I have enjoyed my life.

"You can always make more money but you can't make more time with your family." It's a simple reminder that no one lives forever so make this life count by spending it with the people that matter the most! In a time where everything is go, go, go vacations are a time to slow down and to really enjoy the people arou...

A Teacher on Vacation

Image
It's summer and I know what you're thinking. Your child's teachers are all sipping mojito's on a beach somewhere or possibly sleeping their days away and you know what.. you're kinda right. I have been to the beach, I have taken a nap- side note, I'm super impressed by this because I'm not only a teacher, I'm a mom and let's face it, no matter what you do, it's nearly impossible for a mom to take a nap! Anyways, the fact of the matter is, when I'm on summer break I go on vacation, I drink.. a lot (shh) and I spend some very much needed time with my family. What you most likely don't think about though is that I take at least 2 hours a days, often much more, and devote that to improving my teaching Yep, you heard me, I work... during the summer! And guess what, it's also unpaid work! Why on earth would I work for free during summer? Well, the answer to that is extremely simple. I work so that I can make the year better for my ...
