Do you ever feel like you are standing still and the world just keeps moving faster and faster?  I feel so lost at work.  I feel so lost at home.  I can’t find the right way to juggle work and my new home situation.  In my previous life I would get to work every morning at 7:00 and there were many days the custodian staff kicked me out at 7:00.  I gave every ounce of myself to my students.  They were my kids and I put my heart and sole into making them the best they could be.  This year my priorities have taken a different path.  I don’t get to work until 7:40 because I like to help get Kennedy ready in the morning.  We actually fight over who gets to change the first diaper because she is SO happy in the morning.  After work I have to leave by 3:30 to get her from daycare.  I spend every minute with her once we get home.  We cuddle on the couch, change diapers, play with her toys, and finally she goes to bed around 11:00 (I know it is really late for a baby, but when I put her to bed earlier she wakes up earlier….like 3:00 early.)  I don’t have time during the day to get all the planning I need to get done.  This year I don’t get a planning period, I don’t get time to eat lunch, and I am really having trouble finding time to pump.  My goal is to breast feed for a year, but I am so worried about my milk supply.  Does any one know the rules about pumping while at work?  Is it my job to find a break?  Are they suposed to supply coverage for my class during this time?  Are there any rules to cover me?  I am really stressed about how to juggle my new life…
