Snow Day: Take 3

I went back to work today, but yesterday...
Yesterday was a day for play!
Going back to work today after having three snow days was rough.  I really enjoyed my time at home with Lydia Grace.  Sometimes I feel so guilty that I have to work.  She is at an age where she doesn't really understand where mommy goes all day.  It will be nice when I can explain to her and have her understand.  I know that a lot of mommies have to work, but I still can't help feeling guilty when I leave her.  There are so many moments I miss during the day.  There are so many smiles, new words, milestones, and beautiful moments that I will never be able to witness.  Don't get me wrong...I'm passionate about teaching, and I love my 4th graders, but my heart still breaks when I have to say goodbye to L.G. each day.  Before Lydia Grace "graced" me with her presence, I never knew that leaving your child to go to work could be this hard...

  1. I don't have kids quite yet, but wonder how I will feel about leaving them to go back to work also. At least at teachers, we get the benefit of many days off, so hopefully that eases the guilt a little. (Please tell me it does, ha!) :-)
