Tomorrow is the beginning of another school year. All staff are scheduled to return to duty. This summer was short, and went too fast. However, I am excited to get back into some sort of routine for myself. I just wish I was more prepared....I have a lot of things to get ready for this year. A lot of ideas I want to put into place. I want to be the best damn-teacher-created-by-pinterest-ever... but... I'm running out of time.
I am a borderline hoarder, and it's beginning to irritate me. While things aren't piled up to the ceiling, and I don't keep things like empty pill bottles, newspapers, or old toothbrushes; I do have a hard time throwing stuff away for the simple fear of thinking I may need it later. I REALLY need a few days in my house to reogranize everything, switch some rooms around, and make sure that things are in order. I would also love someone help me organize things. I feel like I have all these ideas, and I PIN a ton of ideas on PINTEREST on how to organie better. Let's be honest here.. the fact of the matter is, I have a 2 year old, a new classroom to get ready (and I have no idea- or way tooo many ideas- on how to set up for a grade I haven't taught yet), limited time, limited energy, and ADD. I seriously start 1 project, and move on to another. I also need to keep up with the laundry, the dishes, the cooking and grocery shopping, the picking up, and the rveryday life of a mother/wife, so that leaves me even more limited time to get the projects or organization done that I want to. I'm getting a little overwhelmed and when that happens, I don't feel like doing a damn thing, cept blogging about it...
I am considering hiring a cleaning lady once a month just to keep up with the deep cleaning stuff, and I need to stop scheduling myself to the point of having no weekend time at my house or with my family. I love the jewelry business, and I'm pretty successful at it for my goals, and my availability, but at the same time, I may need to cut back to get the stuff at the house done, especially with a new grade level to teach this year. Quite frankly, that bummes me out. I wanted to work hard enough for a free Disney Trip for my family, but who am I kidding?? How will I ever find time for all that jazz?? My goals are big, my dreams are bigger, but time with my family is most important. If anyone finds the key on how to get everything accomplished, and feel content with what you did/didn't do, please share :-)
I have a toddler at my legs right now asking to cuddle and play with my hair... and with that friends, I"m out. Peace, love, and applesauce.
