    The Myth of Balance

    What a couple of weeks it’s been.

    Back to School Tips that Make an Actual Difference

  • A full day of marking resumes, cover letters, business letters, persuasive messages... everything communication related. I’m wearing the perfect shirt for it... from the student perspective, I’m sure. Why? Because my red pen LOVES finding grammar oopsies.

  • Math homework on a Sunday night. I gotta be honest... math was never my strong suit in school. It stresses me out when my Girly asks for help because I don’t want to give her the wrong help, the wrong answers, or a bad attitude about math in general.
•
One of the (many) challenging things about being a parent is being careful not to pass on your insecurities about things to your kids through your attitudes. But I also try to balance that with honesty... I don’t pretend to know it all.

Plus the new math is weird.

  • The latest products in my quest to rejuvenate my dry, cracked hands. I find nothing really does the job. They feel great for a bit but my hands dry out quickly again.
•
It’s a combo of subzero temps (thank you Canadian winters), frequent hand washing (thank you flu season and dirty diapers), and eczema (thank you genetics).
•
What do you use to keep your hands baby soft? Suggestions welcome!

  • Teaching is like parenting. You have days where you feel like you’re doing great, but most days you wonder if you’re getting through. You wonder if you’re doing ok. You question your ability, your impact, your worthiness. We don’t do this job for the money or the accolades...we do it because we want to make a difference. But we don’t always get to see the fruit of our labour. We just do the best we can with the time we have.

  • Feeling harried. Feeling overwhelmed. Feeling in over your head. Pulled in every direction. I’m learning (again) this comes from neglecting your boundaries. I’ve been making silly mistakes lately. I’ve been lacking focus. I’ve been angry. Yes I struggle with lack of sleep. Yes I have a sick toddler at home (going on 5 weeks). But if I’m honest, those aren’t the things causing my feelings. Lack of boundaries is. Saying no. Saying not right now. There is always enough time in the day to accomplish what we want. The problem is that we try to accomplish everything. Or we feel so overwhelmed we accomplish nothing at all. So decide what you want to do, be, experience. Decide what is important today. Just today. Say no to what isn’t. Safeguard your peace. And tomorrow decide again. You’ll find that when you say no, whether to going out, volunteering, or even doing certain household tasks, you clear space in your brain. Space to breathe. Space to ponder. Space to decide what you really need and want to be doing. Set boundaries.
