I think of balance as a scale where you try to match equal weights to each side, but what if you have multiple obligations of equal importance, how do you balance each and everyone so that you feel you are on top of everything.
I suppose that is my delema for this week. The week has been eventful. I took my husband in last Sunday to the emergency room for kidney stones which took several days to pass, that Wednesday was his birthday which we celebrated in Wendover, NV (he was drugged up and feeling good enough to make two passes on the dance floor). Friday I got back to the sub (took Thursday off for husbands birthday) note stating that the Kindergartners were very impolite to the sub (one case of breakdown, one case of a boy using his pencil and imitating peeing on everything and one case of a punching match with two boys). To say the least we were on strict probation on Friday.
I have also tried to balance family and my goal to get physically fit enough to run a sprint triathlon which is a 3 mile run, 600 yard swim, and 7 mile mountain bike race. I have a girl friend that began training with me. We took off this morning to swim, she did 50 laps to my 26 (ouch!) swimming is not my strong suit. She was even passing me by when she was on the kick board and I was free style. Hmmmm....I' definatley have some work ahead of me....
I also headed into work today (a teachers work is never done). My kids love it because they are 3years and 6years and the Kindergarten classroom is a world of exploration. I tried to get everything done before my husband got home from work (he had to work Saturday because he had to give birth to Rock, the name we gave the Kidney stone) but, it looks like Monday morning at 5:00 will be last few hours I will need to finish lesson plans, money center, pattern center and laminating name tag for new student.
These posts will become more routine....
