Overwhelmed
This week has been hard. I feel like I can't get anything accomplished. Every night I dream about school and it is wearing me out. I wish I could get to the point that I can not worry so much about everything. I am trying to balance my life between my job reponsibilities, my house and family, my students, HOSA organization, and going to NTI. I am looking forward to the time when I can look back and say "Awe, that wasn't so bad." I deffinitely don't feel that way now. I'm just overwhelmed but I know that "This too, shall pass."
You know what "they" say, it takes the real valley experiences before we are able to relish and savor the mountain-top times of our lives. You sound like the self-talk I give myself daily, one day at a time, one day at a time!
ReplyDeletei agree tracy...even though i learned a lot at NTI i sure will be HAPPY when it's over
ReplyDeleteWhat you have described sounds normal for me. Can you imagine feeling that way every day? lol I think there is a can't focus virus going around. My wife has been in left field all week and she is usually full moon immune. Maybe since we are back in school the full moon enigma has taken hold of us again.
ReplyDeleteHope next week is better.

Tracy,
ReplyDeleteI think we are all in the same boat with you. I am having to deal with school, family, SkillsUsa, and now my pay. The system is wanting to cut my pay about 7,000 dollar. They froze my salary. I am wondering if I am going to stay in Education. My family comes first.
Keep your head up things will get better.
