Day 32 - Family vs. Job

Have you ever felt like your family is interfering with your ability to get your job done (or done well) and that your job is interfering with you properly taking care of your family?

My husband says its that good old German guilt passed down for generations.  He's probably right. 

As mentioned before I tend to be more of an all or nothing kind of person.  Balance is something I work towards but it isn't something that just comes naturally.  I don't always know how to be both a good wife and mother and a good teacher.

I'm trying.  I am beginning to realize that some days I will be stronger than others.  Some days the fam will have to be the priority and sometimes the job can be the priority and that's okay.  I'm learning not to feel so much guilt for not being able to perfectly manage my life.  I'm learning that guilt has the potential to ruin both experiences.  I'm learning.
