Sorry FBL, my fruity tablet needs actual physical links or it doesn't want to join in, but i. Sure it is lovely!
Like the queen with 2 birthdays, I have 2 mothers days, and like the queen I haven't 'earned' either! My step children were 18 and 17 when I met their dad so most their growing up was done. That said, hubby tell s me I have been a positive and constant influence on them since, and as They are the children of my heart, I take my day(s)!
Jeni, it's not about being selfish or selfless, it's about being able to do your job to the best of your ability, which does not exclude picking up the slack for someone who is either lazy or overwhelmed. I feel the school needs to get to the root of why your colleague seems to be struggling so much. As you say, tomorrow is another day, and you are only one person. Do what you can and accept that you are not superhuman, and make sure everyone else remembers that too!
Lecture over, and if you dont come moan when things get tough I really will come kick your butt! If we don't know you are overwhelmed and struggling how on earth are we meant to support you???
Happy Mothers Day to all mothers out there
To all those who would have chosen to be parents if the fates had worked differently, thank you for all the love that you send our way instead, and consider this your special day too.
