As I sit here avoiding those papers sitting on my kitchen table, I am thinking about time management. How do I use my time? Am I happy with all of the things I can get done in a day?
The answer is most often - I haven't done enough. There is not enough time to do everything I want. I want to be able to spend time on my lesson plans. Spend time grading papers and getting assignments into the gradebook. Clean the kitchen, take the dog for a walk, write in my blog, do some laundry. All of the things I would like to be great at.
But how do you find the time to be perfect? I always feel the need to be the best wife, friend, teacher, daughter, granddaughter, all around great gal.
But alas it's not to be.
Recently I have felt overwhelmed with all of the little things I need to do during the day. Verses the things I would like to be able to get done. I would like to be able to go and visit with my gramma. I would like to sit with her and take care of her so my mom can have a break.
But there are papers to grade. lessons to write and so many other 'things' that need to be done.
The school year has started out well. I like all of my classes so far. I have a lot of students that I had last year. So that makes it a little easier to remember names. I have almost everyone down, except a few girls that always seem to look a like.
We will be gearing up soon for homecoming and various other events during the school year. So the train of work will keep on chugging along.
I'm lucky that I have a wonderful husband and good friends to keep me afloat.

Oh, this is the question I seem to sort with myself daily. I can hear you on this one. I have come to I just have to keep going one foot at a time too. Keep trying to do my best and try to prioritize and hope things fall into place. I have friends who are so board and I think "Seriously, I have way too many things I need or want to do!" You are doing awesome I am sure. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in your classroom. I bet you are the best teacher!!
