However, I taught preschool and was the Head teacher for the Infant Toddler room for about 20 years before moving to Kindergarten. Watching working mom's try juggle careers and family just amazed me. The one thing I did notice is that you need to find your balance. It is going to be different for each person. There may be things that for the time being you may have to put on the back burner. don't compare yourself to anyone else because you are amazing in your own way. Just like our kinder kiddos. Treasure each chapter of your life and the memories that you will make.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680099072646872009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927475927175118240.post-45259300928242781952013-01-22T19:08:06.160-08:002013-01-22T19:08:06.160-08:00OMG!!

I have one little boy, who turned 2 in Oct., and boy, oh, boy does he keep me busy on the regular between his tantrums and his imagination. I love every minute of it! However, there are those days, using those loooooong days at school, that I sit down and work on school stuff or blog first and then when I have calmed down from the day or regained some energy, then I play with him. He has become a big helper and will color while I work on school stuff or tell me letters and picture names so that def. helps.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing! Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that is in a constant state of overwhelmed.<br /><br />Erin<br />www.missandersonkinder.blogspot.comErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030207150244559992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927475927175118240.post-67860054295193713002013-01-22T17:28:03.718-08:002013-01-22T17:28:03.718-08:00Thanks, Rose!!
