Epiphany #2

In my mind, I was trying to justify why I needed hours, days and maybe even weeks to prepare the lesson plans for our upcoming academic year. My husband doesn't seem to understand that this can't be done in a few hours for a couple days. When I started to feel guilty about the hours I insisted upon being left alone with my computer and the school material it dawned on me that I have nothing to feel guilty about. This is my job and other than keeping the household running there is nothing more important that I should be doing during these vital days before we begin our lessons. This is our life; this is what I do - I am a teacher of many subjects, the cafeteria lady and the coordinator of many field trips, extra-curricular activities and let's not forget a bus driver. This takes planning, organization, foresight and endurance.

This is a full time job and it's not for the fainthearted!!
