Playing Catch-Up

I got back from my workshop on Saturday, but have barely had time to process it, between re-connecting the family and other obligations. My grandmother is in town for her birthday, my girls have wanted lots of snuggling, we had some pressing house issues that needed dealt with, and so on and so forth.

I have had so many ideas and theories to process this summer so far between these two amazing workshops, and there’s still so much work I need to do before the school starts. I know it’s only July, but the summer’s half over. There’s a big sale at Staples and word on the street is that Target has one-dollar packs of crayons on sale, and I still need to go through the girls’ uniforms and see what we need to get. I’ve got lesson plans to write, books to re-read, assessments to plan, meetings to schedule and programs and websites to test-drive. Not to mention I still want to go through my own clothes, and haven’t finished painting stripes in my bathroom yet.

I’m hoping to spend some mornings this week getting my notes and thoughts and jottings in order and trying to get myself in order to proceed. Maybe then I’ll feel less like the next school year is breathing down my neck.
