OMG...I am so overwhelmed!

It's official.

This is the story of my life.

I feel like I am constantly overwhelmed by something. Right now, it's school. Teaching a new curriculum (9th grade Pre-AP English) is kicking my butt. Since the house-buying lasted all summer, I wasn't really able to plan much before school started. (And let's face it: I had other things I wanted to do! It was summer, after all.) I feel like a slacker because I am totally relying on the other 9th grade teachers for lesson plans. I am having trouble convincing myself that it is worthwhile for me to spend time creating new lessons when I am not even sure that I will teach freshmen again next year, though. And I'm tired when I go home. Woe is me.


There are also homeowner-ish things I need to take of. For instance, I painted my bedroom this weekend. I could have graded papers, but I didn't. I painted instead. :) I also need to hang curtains. Three or four sets, I believe. And the laundry...I always seem to be behind on laundry. Geez.

Will I ever be caught up??
