Not getting better...

Well...I had hoped by this point that I would feel better about everything. Less stressed, less overwhelmed, getting things more under control. But I am not there yet. I keep telling myself that people do this all the time, women do this all the time, MOMS do this all the time. I'm just not fully convinced yet. I have been teaching a LONG time (17 years.) So I feel like for the most part "I've got this..." when it comes to my daily walk. It's just all the EXTRA, fun stuff that goes along with a job like mine. Like adjusting to an entirely new school, collaborating with ALL new people. Adjusting to an EC caseload of 30+ kids (which is truly just ridiculous!) I love my new job, the school, the staff, the kids...but it's the adjustment that is really wearing on me. And then throwing in these classes. And this precious (although slightly autistic) 6th grader, who himself is trying to adjust....I'm beginning to think I MUST have been crazy to try to tackle all this. What WAS I thinking when I told myself "it's now or never?!?!" Never is sounding better and better every day...
