It isn’t even Wednesday and I’m deep ‘in my feelings’ about how the week is going to go. There is a lot going on and the logistics of the thing have me backpedaling by Tuesday. The worst part is that this promises to be the way of things straight up to and into the spring break.
This is less about the writer’s life than it is about the hectic nature of being a writer, dad, teacher, and ultimately trying to balance all of these things during a week where they will all demand my attention in the same 24 hour period. This is largely about Fridays. Those are tough ones for me, because everyone has something going on and a good deal of it requires me to play driver to the boys. When I can’t it becomes a situation where I need to find a way to juggle a lot and there is not a lot of help available to make things go. I could be exaggerating it, but there is little by the way of a chance to feel like I can ‘chill’ on those days.
Some Thoughts:
- Happy days at work and at home. Hectic but happy.
- Learning to be a better dad and what that means–especially when it comes to teaching kids to be self-sufficient and to learn good habits.
