We didn’t give up our dreams or our ambitions when we had kids, but we did give up the right to be wholly selfish. We have other people, other priorities to consider now.

Between teaching and family. It’s a lot right now. At work from 7:30-5:30. Walk in the door and then Lyra walks out the door.
As, I’ve said before I’m definitely a better teacher because I’m a parent but damn if it isn’t hard sometimes.
