Weekend Reflections – Taking it Slow
This month has been overwhelming. The school term only begin and I am already exhausted by rushing to meet all the various deadlines and just coping with the mounting paperwork and marking.
As the term progresses the workload only increases and it really burns me out. Most of my colleagues also feel the same way. I am really looking forward to the June holidays so that I can get a proper rest and get the house spring cleaned.
I’m really wondering how I will be able to take things slowly as more and more things get thrown my way workwise. It is really frustrating not having enough energy to do the things which I had planned to do with the kids.
During the weekends I have started to take things slowly by focusing solely on the family. It is great just to sit back and see them enjoy themselves playing with their toys in their room. The simple pleasures they derive from pushing the trains around their Thomas the train set, playing games on the WII set and listening to us reading storybooks to them.
If only life could be as simple as when we were kids.
