Day 17

Being a working mom can be bitter sweet... Sometimes I feel like I am missing out on too much of my kiddos childhood, not giving them the attention they deserve, not volunteering in their classes, visiting them for lunch, dropping them off at school.... the list could go on and on. Tonight, at parent teacher conferences I was reminded why I chose this path; because at the same time I am raising my own family I am making a difference in the lives of my students. It is such a blessing to know that what I do is affecting their futures, it makes it all worthwhile. So tonight I am thankful for a job that not only helps to financially support my family but makes a difference in the lives of my students.
