I chose to skip practicum today. It is the first day that I have missed teaching.
Emma's homework was not done, Tripper was refusing to dress OR brush his teeth. Kindergarten papers were due, High School admission papers were due, applications for honors classes were due and needed teacher approval signatures. I work Eli up around 6:10. At 7 a.m. he rolled outta bed.
I sat there, at 6:55 a.m., my normal "leave" time, and had chaos all around me.
I chose to call in sick, to help Emma with schoolwork, help Tripper brush his teeth, deliver signed applications and papers to the proper places.
I got it done.
Sometimes, the kids have to come first.
It went downhill from there.
You ever had those days where ya just want to go to bed, get back up and start all over?
Today is one of those days.
Just so you know, you're not alone. . .you have a lot on your plate and can only do your best. Hang in there!!!
