Aside from being Super Mom and Super Teacher, I have a lot of things I want to do: blog, create products, start an Etsy store… except there aren't 57 hours in a day. I can't do it all. So what's most important?
My family.
I posted something on Instagram earlier this week: accept that "good enough" is really good enough. I was surprised and encouraged by the amount of positive feedback I got. Let's be real for a second: we all work our you-know-whats off. I'm not going to bring 4 hours worth of work home every night anymore, and I'm not going to beat myself up for not doing so. I will work as hard as I can when I'm at work, and then I will come home to be with my family.I don't want my kids to look back at their childhood and remember their mom behind a computer screen.
So, friends, you might not see a whole lot of me on this blog in 2015 (I do post frequently to Instagram though). It's not because I don't want to be here. In fact, I have a list a mile long of blog posts I want to write. I just want to be present with my family more. They're only little for so long. And I'm going to soak up every second.

Good for you! Even as a veteran teacher with grown children I started doing the same this year-leaving work at a decent time and not feeling bad if I didn't spend 3 or 4 hours doing more work at home. It has made a world of difference!!!
ReplyDeleteAngela,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great word! I'm constantly trying to evaluate and prioritize things in my life. I want my focus to be my faith and my family…sometimes I let the other "stuff" get too high on the list. Great reminder! What a fun linky.
