I’ve started three posts this week. None of them made it past a few sentences.
I feel like I can’t get my brain to stop whirring. I’m all over the place.
Yesterday was Back to School Night. I was at work for 12 hours. I left at 7:45pm, exactly 12 hours before I had to be back at work again.
It’s been a steep learning curve this year. I’ve struggled to adjust to my schedule. Teaching at 7:45am is more challenging than I thought. I have two different classes before my first break, so I have to have them planned and prepped before lunch the day before. I’m getting to work at 7:15am and leaving at 4pm and I still feel unprepared most days. I’m tired of scrambling. I’m tired.
Today is a minimum day, so we get out at 1pm. I’m going to try to run by work if it’s not too hot. If it is too hot, I’ll head to the coast.
Tomorrow I’m taking the kids to the water park at Great America. Then I’m dropping them off at my parents for a much needed date night. They get to go swimming at my mom’s friend’s house on Sunday, which means my husband and I will have the whole day to ourselves.
I really need the break. And I’m very thankful that Monday is a holiday.
I’m almost just lost this post and I can’t believe I got it back so I’m just going to hit publish. I hope you all have a restful long (if it is long for you) weekend.
Enjoy your weekend! Hope you get some much needed “recharging of your batteries” so to speak.
SO glad for you there is a three day break and you will have some non-parenting time. HOPE you get to run today and pleased SF should be cool (comparatively) this weekend.
School will sort it’s self out AND YOU WILL FALL INTO the rhythm of school days. It always takes time at the beginning of the year and it always feels impossible. But it does happen.
VERY BEST WISHES and much support!
Enjoy the break! My husband usually works 7am-4:30pm and loves having things shifted slightly earlier now. I hope you end up feeling the same way!
