I've been having a difficult time balancing everything I have going, especially with the drastic lack of sleep I've been experiencing lately. Job, grad school, baby, hubby, dogs, church, Bible Study & MOPS. Plus chores. Add in PPD, and it feels like a lot- and it really is.
Like me, some of my students/parents are having a difficult time adjusting. Please pray that we can work through the growing pains of a new year in a constructive manner. I can't help but take some comments personally when I pour energy into my lesson plans and teaching methods and materials, and feel like I only receive negative feedback. It's been hard and I don't want to regret making the decision to return to work this year so I need to work through this frustration and figure out how to balance everything and better partner with the parents & students. It IS possible!
But it may take a few cries before we get there completely :)
Just sending a little hug!
