I have been feeling the back to school blues over the past few weeks. It has nothing to do with my students, or even my school. It's trying to find the balance between work and home life. The weekends fly by, and before I know it, it's back to the work week. When school begins, I throw myself into my job, pulling 10 hour days, and bringing more work home. I try to get to know who my students are and what their strengths and weaknesses are, and do my best to begin to provide the best instruction possible, as soon as possible. Sometimes, this comes at a cost.
Marc and I have been discussing this topic a lot this week at the dinner table. The conversation usually goes something like this:
Me: I'm overwhelmed.
Marc: Why?
Me: Because I have a. b. c. d. etc.... to do and not enough time to do it.
Usually the etc... includes things I need to do for myself to keep up my own sanity. This includes exercise. If you have been reading my blog posts over the past year, you'll know I like to eat healthy and know how important it is to be healthy.
I'm really going to work over the next few weeks to try to put myself first and to find some "Me Time" so I keep myself sane and happy. I know I'll be better for it. Do you have trouble finding time for yourself, too? How to do you make sure you fit it all in?
