Woe is Me

Hmmmm. . . I thought I would take a moment for a little pity party.  Woe is me.  I am in the middle of getting my classroom together with very few days until school starts.  I just didn't know how hard it would be to get started.  I am mentally exhausted from the effort.  I feel that everyone does things differently and when I look around I don't necessarily see anything that will work for me.  I feel like I am getting started about 10 seconds behind the gun, everyone else is looking at the finishline and I am looking at their tail ends!  Sigh. sniff sniff sniff

Ok! Party over! Back. To. Work!  We have a meeting this morning to plan the first six weeks of school.  I feel that once we have sat down to do that, I will have a better feel for where I need to go.  I hope everyone comes and gives their input.  I am going!  With that said, let me get dressed and go!

Have a beautiful day!

Chugging on along

So I have found some great resources!  I am very very excited.  www.kellyskindergarten.com has been sooooo very helpful.  Of course, I have also been very confused!  This center thing is really getting to me.  I think I have too many ideas.  I am not sure how I am going to make everything work.  And I still need to get a po and go to Landmark books and get my calendar and stuff that I have on hold.  This was the secretary's first week back so I didn't want to bother her.  I get the feeling that she can be a little grumpy! (This might be putting it mildly if the looks I have been getting mentioning her name are something to go by.)

Anyway . . . starting something new is very interesting.  It is cause for a lot of introspection.  I went into this for the right reasons.  I am glad I did it.  Of course, I am very scared that I won't be able to continue from here on out.  Will my convictions be enough to carry me through?  Will I lose myself in this?  I guess now is the time to put my big girl panties on and suck it up.
