just balance

so today was either the best planning day...or the biggest disaster ever

I'm still not quite sure

I just kept opening more books, binders, support materials...

until I found myself here

thinking - woah - what in the world is going on with this table right now?

of course since I have never been able to teach the same grade twice

planning is something I've become pretty much a master of

but now that I have just one subject I find myself really challenging

myself to make those lessons even more awesome

hence the ridiculous about of teaching materials shown above

turns out, my life is a constant balancing act

wife, teacher, masters student

have a fun weekend -

well planning is going to kill you when you return to work

finish your 8 page art rationale paper -

well your stacks of grading have found new places to stack up

my TA has been sick the last two days -

devastating.

it will all get done

it always does

but I'm thinking I'll be pulling 12 hour days this week

and when I hear of "those people" who get to work "four tens"

well, I envy you.  A lot.  

and just think, after I finish 10 more masters classes I want to 

throw a little munchin of my own into the mix

well that's just funny.
