Yes, it's been almost a month since I've posted. It's been so crazy busy in trying to get the new school year started. I am now teaching 6 different classes this year, plus running ASB. I was beginning to feel overwhelmed by it all the first week of August, mostly because I'm in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy, trying to get my lessons prepared, and plan for my sub. I was used to getting up early, due to the farmer baby who resides in the room next door to mine. However, I was not prepared to not have my daily 2 hour naps, and being able to relax when I felt tired.
So, school officially started on Thursday, August 12th. I have everything up and running--I never said smoothly--but nonetheless, it's running. I have one week left of work before I head out on maternity leave. I have decided that I can only control so much and my sanity and the baby's health is way more important then lesson plans, kids who can't keep their mouths shut, and all the changes that are being implemented at my school. I chose my sub specifically for her ability to take charge and be "me" in my absence. Therefore, I need to "trust" in my choice and in her and let things fall as they may. I have 4 more days of work, and I can get the relaxation that I crave, and quite honestly, feel I deserve. Awe......the end is near. I'll be happy when the pregnancy hormones calm down, because let's face it, all us mamas know, they never go away. =)
Cheers!
