In over my head

So, I definitely think I'm a little in over my head.

Pre-school is great so far. I knew to expect difficulty when it came to keeping their attention for more than 2 seconds, all of 8 of them. However, expecting it and actually experiencing it are apparently two entirely different things. It's not like you can just yell or say their name out loud to get their attention, their eyes actually have to be on you! I knew this, just...yeah, hit me like a brick. Other than that though, it's good. I just need to look at their skill developments and such to be able to plan the appropriate lessons.

School, needless to say, I'm already behind! However, I should be able to catch up tonight, and part of tomorrow before my girl's lunch/dinner out with my two friends. Afterwards, I'll be working on lesson plans. If I can get all my homework and reading done for next week, that'll help with the stress level...A Lot.

Last night, I was driving home from teaching a workshop last night (oh yeah, I do that too...gee...why do I stress again?), it was snowing. They were TINY snowflakes, but frozen well enough that when they landed on the windshield (very light snow shower), you could see each snowflake and the 6 points on each one. I think that's one of the small things in life that can be great...joy is the best word I can think of. It was just nice to be able to see that.
