I haven't accomplished all I should have in June and July. I didn't take Amigo to the orthodontist yet, I didn't write my first novel, I didn't use the new lipreading software I bought, in fact, I haven't loaded it yet. And it's August!
That's a problem with being a teacher. In my line of work (elementary classroom), we put our hearts and souls into our work from mid-August until mid-June, and then expect to pack in a year's work of leisure time in 8-10 weeks. No wonder I'm getting this feeling of failure!
But if I look away from the to-do list and focus on the Ta-Da! side, it looks better. Really.
Okay, there's more, but I feel better now. There are many miscellaneous list items I didn't accomplish, but there are enough important pieces on my "Ta-da!" list that I can feel good about my summer. I think I can slowly start working on getting ready for school. S-l-o-w-l-y.
