So, as of late, I have been in this obsession with my class room for next year and trying to get it straight in my brain exactly HOW to teach Kindergarten. I did two long-term subs in K before I got my real job, but having my OWN digs is different. Plus the team I will be working with is super tight and have everything organized. Luckily, my mom has SOOOOOO much stuff and resources for me to use, it's just a matter of going through it all and organizing it. So in essence, it's kind of a good problem to have :0) And yes, I choose to do this to myself--(change grade level every year)
Secondly, Gralynn is giving me sassy fits! We butt heads..bad! So I turned to my girlfriends and they suggest reading Creative Corrections by Lisa Whelchel (Blair from the Facts of Life) So I buy the book. I haven't read it. Flipped through it a bit and I am excited to learn what she has to teach me about parenting effectively using biblical principles and text!
The other night I started to have myself one of my infamous mini break downs, b/c it occured to me, (as true with many of you) that I am just getting by with 10 different roles and jobs and I don't feel quite like I'm being the WIFE, MOM, HOUSEKEEPER, TEACHER, FRIEND, SISTER, LEADER that I am supposed to be. I mean, perhaps this is why I can never "get it together". So having said that, I'm also in the process of searching for answers about how to either chill, or how to be great at these things....will let you know how that works out for me :0)

Once you figure it all out, let me know because I struggle with the same thing :).
Hey Kerri! My mom just told me about your mom. We will be praying for her, you, and your family especially during this time.
Love,
Fran
