My Supports

Family

This week we were asked to reflect on the supports that we have in our lives. I really don't know what I would do without my family. My husband and I both take an active role in parenting and the daily operations of our household. Both of our jobs can be demanding at times so it's easier for us to split the responsibilities in our homes.

Now that I am enrolled in the Walden Masters program, I am usually busy on my laptop at night or busy with some type of assignment. My husband has been very supportive and is always willing to help me get the girls ready for bed, my their lunches for school and really anything that we need to do to keep our home operating normally.

My Mother is also one of my biggest supports that I have in my life. I really talk to her everyday. I can talk to my mother about anything. I talk to her about my day at work, I ask for advice about my kids and, now that she's retired I can take the kids to her house if they can't go to school or they have an appointment they have to go to.

Last but certainly not least are my daughters. Each day when I come in from work we talk about what their day was like and we just get a chance to be silly. They give be a chance to just relax and be a Mom. I love the unconditional love that I get from my girls. They know that Mommy is in school right now and they have been extremely supportive during this process. I feel very luck to have them. 

Tools

-My cellphone
-My email
-My To-Do-List
-My Calendar
-Plan Book

All of these things keep me organized and support me daily. Without my calendar, plan book, or to-do-list, I would be lost at work. I don't think I would be able to give me best without them.
