I think this is the first year I've wished I didn't take off those eight years to pursue my own business. Had I not done that, I could be retired right now. As each new school year approaches, I get anxious about it all - not just the teaching part because that is relatively easy most days, but the demands of my time before, during and after school. If I had control over my schedule, that would be one thing, but others seem to like setting my agenda for me, or at least rearranging it.
So, it sounds like my point is I don't much like being told what to do or how to do it. Funny, I tell kids what and how to do things all of the time. Does this mean I am a control freak?
I think I've taken on too many projects this summer - ha, what else is new. And the paint color mistake in the kitchen has really set me back. It's only paint, I get that. But two more days of painting (after disassembling the cabinets and waiting for everything to dry so I can put it all back). What a mess.
And I've not painted the master bathroom yet, even though that's the first paint I purchased. Still need to sort through all of the clothes and closets. Maybe I'll be inspired after the guest closet gets finished today.
Guess I need to get on with it. Life is getting complicated all of the sudden. Everything seems upside down in the world. I wonder if it will every turn right side up?
Maybe next Sunday.
