I had the opportunity to take a day off this week as my mental health day. I stayed home, slept in until 7am, and enjoyed hanging out with my little one for the day. It was so wonderful to go for walks, play at the park, and just take time to be with him. I wish I could do this once a week (I'm afraid my sick days would run out pretty fast though). Wednesday really made me think about the summer and how lucky I was/am to have all that time to just bond with Zach. I am already looking forward to Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring, and Summer breaks. Sometimes I feel as though teaching isn't my career of choice, but who doesn't get tired of their career every once in a while. My heart belongs with my family and I just have to remember how blessed I am to have such a great job. Although my job may not be my life, it definately helps make an enjoyable one. Don't get me wrong, I like teaching, but being a mommy and wife is really the only career I want.
