For those of you on facebook, this may be somewhat of a repeat from a post I made earlier, but for the rest of you it's new.
So for at least the last month, I've probably put in a good 60 hours of work a week. Between planning stuff for our Writing BLITZ right before TAKS, to writing Saturday School lessons and teaching Saturday school, I've been more than busy. Since TAKS was the week before last, I thought this past week we be a little less hectic and the we would pick right back up after Spring Break. Boy was I wrong. Tuesday morning we found out that we are changing things up for the 3rd time this year. So in the matter of 4 days I've managed to plan reading lessons for not only my students, but also one of the bilingual classes. Before doing lessons, I met with our literacy strategist analyzing data and figuring out what the bilingual students need to be taught/retaught so I know what lessons to plan for them. I've also organized everything for our new rotation including folders, attendance, behavior, spirals, boxes/crates and a other things that come to me at random times. Anyways, you get the point :-)
So this morning I woke up, played on facebook and did a few other things before deciding to check my work e-mail. Why? I wish I knew, but I did it. So I took care of a few things and logged out. Everyday my horoscope is posed on my homepage and I enjoy reading it, if for nothing else, the fun of it. Every now and then I'll read it and think about how true it was. So today I scroll down and this is what I read...
Let go of work matters -- at least until you get back there on Monday. You've done more than your part to take care of business. You're tired, you haven't had any fun in longer than you can remember and you can't really do any more than you've already done. There. Now that it's all been said, do you think you can actually give yourself a reprieve? Just for a couple of days? You know you deserve it.
I couldn't help but laugh and think to myself that God really is trying to tell me something. This just reminded me that He always knows what I need and makes sure to find a way to remind me of that :-)
