Back To School

I go back to teaching, my students, colleagues, busy days and tired nights this coming Monday. I dread it. I keep thinking I will not have much time to devote to my blog. The blog has become so important to me. I attend to it every day as I would have attended to my child. It is my connection with Akul. I weave my thoughts about Akul in this blog, and I connect with mom's whose children are friends with my son, Akul. I am known here as Akul's mom and I know Ella's mom Bree, Hope's mom Sally, Ezra's mom ....like I would have known if our children were in kindergarten together. I cannot let go of these connections which have been formed because of Akul. I do not want to lose myself in lesson plans and grading when I can dress Akul's blog. It is really sad that I have become so dependent on this inanimate blog. I have to remind myself that the blog is not Akul. It does not need constant care.

    It will all come around and work itself out. You will find the time to tend to your blog. Working will be good for you even though your not ready to go back. Your dear blog friends will not leave you and we will look forward to your posts.
    Take care of yourself. I will pray for your comfort.

    I have a feeling that Akul will be right there with you as you return to the classroom next week. Wishing you strength for this transition.

    I am so sorry you are dreading the beginning of the school year, I am too. I am saddened that I won't be able to check blogs or post on my own at my convenience. It will be an adjustment, but I know that I will find a way to stay in tune with all my blog friends while working. I hope you will find that balance too. I will be thinking of you as we head to the classroom on Monday. xx

    I love Ella's picture on your sidebar. :) I need to post it on my blog too. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. I know when I was teaching that summer school class, I'd rush home and spend a good hour on the computer before tending to anything else. It is addicting. But, it's been my lifeline.

    I know what you mean about time, blogging and it being a lifeline. And the babyloss mamas who have held us together through what has felt like the loneliest part of life. I too no longer seem to have the time I want to devote to Ciaran's blog, or to keep up with my babyloss mama friend's blogs like I wish to, because you are all on my mind everyday. Love to you x
