I haven’t blogged since the school year started; the transition hit me like a train. In fact, I still don’t have it together enough to compose a “proper” post, but I can piece together jumbled thoughts in the form of six word memoirs?
IT ALL FALLS APART
working teacher mom harder than anticipated.
new curriculum does not honor students.
five doctor appointments in five days.
both boys have hand foot mouth.
screeching four month old all night.
postpartum hair loss. first postpartum period.
when it rains, must it pour?
THE BRIGHT SIDE
Baby’s hole in heart officially closed
earned a spot in writing community
fall break is in seven days
my boys are really, really cute
learning to give myself grace – slowly
renewed vision for my writing life
it is okay to trust colleagues

Britt, you certainly have a full plate. I am glad you wrote about the good and the bad. You will put it all back together. The bright side is much to celebrate.

Gosh, Britt. You have so much going on. But think of it this way. They provide lots of writing fodder, right? Yeah you!

You amaze me! I took years off from everything when my boys were little. Your six word lines pack so much in. I hope the break gives you a little respite.

Brit, the fact that you showed up here at all is a celebration! The line that resonated with me is “learning to give myself grace-slowly”. What wise words for all teacher-mothers! Thinking of you!
