Overwhelmed

First, I have to say that Creed was awesome last night. However, as much as I enjoyed the show, I've decided I am too old to go to a concert and function the next morning. I had three hours of sleep. I tried to collect the same writing assignment from my students today...I'm thinking I wasn't really on my game. Last night, I was really enjoying the music. I loved being outside. However, B was complaining his knees hurt. Then my feet started to fall asleep. The band played all of the songs I wanted to hear, but they had a middle section that had a few new songs in it. You know how everyone just kind of bounces and rocks, even though they don't know the words? I was looking around thinking how funny we all looked. Overall, I'm glad I went, even though I paid for it today.

T spent the night with my dad and stepmom last night. He was so cute about it. I was having a MUCH harder time with it. I knew I wasn't going to see him until tonight, and that was harder than I expected. He, however, was more worried about what he was going to play and what he was going to eat.

School is harder than normal. I don't know why. It might be because of the insecurity at home. It might be because I have two new preps or just because I have four. I'm having trouble keeping up, and though that's typical for me since I like everything "just so," this is a lot worse. I'm not feeling like I've hit my groove yet, and I'm praying it happens soon. I really keep holding on to the fact that I have really good kids, and I'm liking it. I have no major stress with discipline at all. I love that part of it...it's a good change and a welcome one. I'm enjoying getting to know the kids, especially my junior accelerated. They told me hillarious stories about themselves the first day, and I just love how that class feels. It's really awesome.

Off to catch some much-needed sleep after I convince the little guy he needs some!
