Very different from other jobs where you work with adults. I remember coming home from school both mentally and physically exhausted because you really don't get a break all day. I stopped teaching when I became a mom but I can imagine that it would be really hard to come home and immediately dive into being a mom with out a break. So give yourself a break if you fall behind on some things. You can only do so much!Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17540039347897837840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279385377243369921.post-16372708214703313892010-04-01T19:18:26.490-04:002010-04-01T19:18:26.490-04:00I didn't know you were a teacher, Jen! Cool. ...I didn't know you were a teacher, Jen! Cool. <br><br>Actually, getting home to the kid feels so good that it doesn't feel tiring... I love getting on the floor and playing, and if I'm lucky, he'll catch a nap at 415 and I can sometimes nap too! It's the bedtime that's killer- when he is fighting it, and it's 10 pm, and I know I have to be up by 6 and out the door with him at 7... and I haven't napped... OW. OW. <br><br>But hey. If that's my biggest complaint in life I'm doing darn good. <br><br>I definitely have come to accept the fact that being responsible for another person is tiring, no matter if you work outside the home or not... Whether you are SAHM or WOHM, there are days when you don't catch a break, and when those start to build up, then that awful exhaustion sets in... and that's when you need HELP!KORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04149159318608415376noreply@blogger.com
