my pink life, mi vida rosada

Y'all.  Back to school is no joke. It is kicking my tail to keep up with an elementary school teaching schedule with an elementary school non-existent planning schedule. I'm trying to remind myself to get off the technology, up and moving, doing something, anything!, to feel like I am still moving forward with house care, laundry, being a decent mom, and taking care of myself.  My husband has been very encouraging through this time of transition.  I'm really hoping that it will feel less like a transition soon -- it still feels terribly difficult to walk out the door first in the morning and often return home last each day, and to want to be providing the childcare but relying on someone else to do it, and to want to be the one finding the deals at the grocery store and cooking for the family, but not physically be able to be that person right now.  And it is hard, too, because going back to work, and in this capacity, was sort of a choice -- sort of not. ...
