There's nothing here!

TheLittleGrownUp: I'm a teacher who loves what she does but also strives for balance. I'm still figuring out how to be the grown-up in the room while learning how to actually be a grown-up. I try to give myself what I need so that I can give my students what they need. This sometimes means going to yoga instead of staying at my computer to plan another rainy-day activity. I used to apologize for that but now I know that without my own balance, I can't give those kids my whole self during school hours. Being a teacher (and I guess a grown-up) sometimes means choosing when you have to be selfish. At least that's part of what I have worked out so far. It's all a work in progress.
