life in my world

So, I am having this inner-turmoil with myself….how can I do everything….and get my life back on track? I guess I have to realize that I can’t do it all….and that it’s ok to take awhile to get my life back on track!

I feel like I am just flying by the seat of my pants everyday in my classroom…I walked in on that 1st day and haven’t had a chance to think yet…I NEED SOME PLANNING TIME!!!!! I am trying to teach this new curriculum, get all of my caseload kids organized, finish getting my classroom put together, and try to stay a few steps ahead of my 8th graders at all times!

At home, I feel like the house is severely neglected. (Due to me….. as Hubby does a lot.)   I am just wiped at the end of these teaching days….and what energy I do have goes into cooking dinner, and getting Punky home, fed, and to bed. (Well, with quite a bit of playing between there!) I try to not bring all the crap at school I have lingering over me home… ugh.

We had Alpha class again tonight at church. The topic, “Who Is Jesus?” Great class tonight…I didn’t vocalize my thoughts much, but it was really interesting!

My father-in-law called tonight and he is heading up north when 2 couples for the weekend. They’ll be staying on Lake Superior North of Duluth. Should be BEAUTIFUL! He’s pretty excited to get away for a few days…and is really looking forward to being with his friends. I’m glad he accepted their invitation!

I feel like I have been neglecting my blog quite a bit as of late…I have that whole guilty thing going on in this area of my life too…..but I get over it quickly….I can only do so much! 🙂 (Takes me awhile, but I do learn!)

Have a great night!

    You are feeling exactly how I am feeling! Different reasons of course, you just experienced quite a loss. There are days that I feel like I’m on autopilot, just doing what I need to do to skim the tops off of everything and everyone that needs me attention. I can’t wait to settle back into regular ol’ life where I don’t feel so wore out. Hang in there! 🙂

    Tendrils- You know, after someone dies you have this expectation that your life should “get back to normal” at some point but the reality is that THIS is the new normal. And it’s ok. And it doesn’t take a few weeks or a few months to get over it. YEARS later you can just be sitting there and suddenly the bottom drops out and you feel it all over again as acutely as that first day. Just cut yourself some slack. It’s ok if things are messy. Do what you gotta do to get through the day and stop feeling bad about it. Evenutally you learn to cope with the new normal. Until then, cut yourself some slack. HUGS.
