I created this blog many months ago but have never posted to it. I think I have procrastinated due to fear and indecision about which direction to go with it. Do I focus on educational stuff? Personal stuff? Will people like it? What is the most important thing to blog about? And so I haven't blogged about anything.
But now my teammates are headed back to school this week, and my elementary school is preparing to start a new year. Without me. I am still processing how I feel about this. On the one hand, I am so thankful that we have the means for me to stay home and raise our two beautiful children. It is a responsibility that we did not want to leave to anyone else. On the other hand, it is so hard. Some days between nap struggles, messy floors, the cranky toddler and the mile long to-do list, I think it would be so much easier to be at work.
I know I made the right decision to stay home, and I cherish this time with my small people. They teach me something new every day. However, I also value the part of myself that loved her career and had professional goals. So, while my professional goals are on hold, I will use this blog to start my journey down the path to being a writer - a lifelong goal. And since the old wisdom is to write what you know, that is exactly what I will do. This blog will be whatever is on my mind and heart - a little bit of personal stuff (like today), a lot of learning to apply my teaching knowledge to my own kids, and whatever else I encounter in this next phase of my life.
Welcome, and thanks for joining me in my next great adventure!
