Summer
is over …
…and
I’m sad…
…that
the stay at home mom lifestyle I have
grown so accustom to, is just about over.
I
have been able to prolong the inevitable – daycare and going back to work – for
some time now and finally reality is here.
I keep reminding myself that I have been very blessed with maternity
leave and summer vacation back to back.
It has been such an amazing 6 months.
I
am VERY excited to go back to work and begin a new school year with new
students and new school supplies (my favorite), but I am sad that my stay at home mom status is coming to an
end.
Now
that my new reality is here, I’m anxious about how I will be able to balance
all of my roles - mommy, wife and full-time teacher. Will I
be able to balance everything and be the mother, wife and teacher I want to be? Being a bit of a workaholic, it has been
difficult for me to adjust to heading back to school and I’m struggling to
learn to let things go and be ok if
those things don’t get done right away (or ever). I know I will be challenged by this task, but
I also know, that as soon as I get home and walk through the door, Graycen (and
Garrett J ) will be the only thing on my
mind.
I almost cried reading your post - so true. I hope that things are going smoothly. That really is one of the hardest adjustments ever.
