Holiday Reflections

December 20, 2012 Family No comments

As happy as I am with how our little family is progressing, I would like to spend more time next year contributing to our blog. We spent much of this year just surviving being parents and educators. I will make a conscious effort to focus on writing more about my experiences with our son. He’s learned so much about us these past 2 years and we have learned so much about him and ourselves.

I don’t just want to survive this year. I want to be able to sit back and reflect. This blog helps me think through that process. So, expect to hear more from me this year and happy holidays.

It’s been a rough week.

I find comfort in believing that one day I will look back on a day like today and smile. It has been a rough week because the kiddo’s been sick so we are lacking sleep. It’s been rough because of how busy the beginning of the semester tends to be. It’s been especially rough because two of my team members found new positions and left this afternoon to continue their journeys elsewhere. I will miss them.

As much as I’d like to take the rest of the week off and crawl in my bed to sleep, I know that my family needs me. I find the strength to keep going from them. And so keep going I will, at least until the weekend. Look for me under my covers then.
