Oh this year. Oh.....Oh....Oh.....
I am over a month into school and daily questioning myself. I am not clicking with my kids as I normally do...I'm rushing and cramming information into them as if it's a race. I keep TRYING to remind myself that I'm successful as a teacher because I take the time to have side conversations and invest in them as people. I came into this year-different. I hate it! I hate who I am as a teacher right now and I don't know where to start to fix it.
I start my day with the most challenging class I have. It's a co-taught class with EC kids included and it literally drains me before 9 o'clock.
The Lord is working me out this year-I just dont know how to overcome it. Perhaps this is one of those things I dont get to work out--but he will.
Oh how I pray....Oh how I pray he does. I miss my old self.

Hang in there....I think He is challenging many people right now with work frustrations, there aren't many people I know, myself included that are loving their job. I know for myself, I used to wake up and be soooo excited to get to work. Now, not so much. Between politics and budget cuts, I feel drained before I walk in the door. We all do. I am trying hard as well to put on a happy face, pray that each day will be better, at dinner before I go, whoever is saying grace prays that I will have a good night. I know that the grass looks greener over there, wherever there may be.....but it really is no different, and neither are you! Keep watering your lawn, feeding yourself, and I promise, it will get better. YOU are amazing at what you do, and Jordan's love for school, reading and his self confidence are proof of YOUR love! Praying for you!
