One Little Word Wednesday: Shoulders
It is Wednesday, right? Some weeks kick my butt and this is another one of them. When I have weeks like this--days full of evening school activities, parent-teacher conferences, and after school meetings, my family has to shoulder more of the load at home. As long as I communicate my needs, my husband pitches in without complaint. Even during an easier week, I bring my job home with me every night. There is always a report to write, emails to respond to, and lessons to create. And on days when my school bag stays unopened on the chair, I'm still teaching and planning in my head. My husband has put up with it for 25 years. Being the spouse of an educator isn't easy, and I tend to forget that.

Your post is a wonderful reminder that we ALWAYS bring our profession home AND we need to communicate when we need help. I forget to do that last part causing pain for both of us!
ReplyDeleteI've never been married and can't even imagine what this would be like! YIKES!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a dear husband who supports you willingly. Now my son is a spouse of an educator. He is filling in the gaps, too. I am so proud of him.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder. I have to confess sometimes I let things go, unfairly knowing that he'll pick up the home slack.
