It may be obvious to those closest to me that school has began (for me at least). My house is a mess (no Jennifer, that's not what it ALWAYS looks like), I can't focus (no.. wait, yep, pretty normal), and I'm only home for an hour a day minus driving times to pick up kids and return home. I run around the house like a chicken and I talk to myself. I'd tell you to ask Chad how crazy it is, but he works late, so I'm so sad that I answer myself. (And I've heard that's when you should worry- but WHO has time to worry?)
Tomorrow the school year begins for the students and I'm really excited. My heart has had trouble getting motivated to believe that my summer has ended. I'm usually the teacher who spends a few whole days at school over the summer getting things ready for Aug, but this year, due to circumstances beyond my control, I didn't get to. And my heart was like a dead battery (when it comes to school) and it needed some jumper cables. Well, I got them. I got them last night at meet the teacher night. As I'd been praying for this year and the kids that would be given to me, God gave me a total peace before I even met them. But once I met the kids, I couldn't stop thinking about how great my year could be. I PRAY my day tomorrow isn't disappointing, because I've set some high standards in my mind, but what if it's PHENOMENAL? It's got that potential. Tomorrow is the day I have to be "strict" and "stern" and kinda ... mean... just NOT me. I'm not allowed to joke tomorrow. Eh.. it'll be alright.
Can you tell I'm tired? Yep, it's time to turn off the lights, crawl into bed with my brown eyed boy and snooze into tomorrow... we shall see if my day turns out as amazing as I want it to be... I don't think I'll be disappointed. Even if MY day isn't great, I know Haley's will be.. she's an ETERNAL optimist when it comes to school! Let the juggling begin!
