Well since I've started school I've probably left work on average about 7:30/8pm. And sometimes that includes the weekends too. This week (I'm actually quite proud of myself so don't scold me), I've left work before 6:30 3 nights in a row! While I realize that this is definitely not ideal nor is it something that I want to continue to stay the same, it is a mark of improvement. I mean I haven't left before 6:30pm on any day other than a Saturday or Sunday (maybe).
I'm starting to get a rhythm and a system of organization down. I'm starting to get a routine for what I need to prepare each week and that means that I have to spend a lot less time turning in circles because I don't know what I need to do, let alone what I need to do first. I know that part of this is how God has blessed me with an awesome grade level team as well as a husband who is such a dear that he will come and sweep my classroom for me if he's in Vero. I also know that I am discovering the blessing of leaving work at work AND leaving work (period). It means that I get to come home and I'm done for the day. I have been able to hang out with my husband and enjoy his company in a setting other than my classroom. It means that I have a life outside of my students. It means that I have adult company to talk to and interact with. Novel idea, right?
Anyway, I guess it's just interesting looking at how far I've come from the days of my internship when I felt like I had panic attacks more days than not verses now when I'm actually feeling comfortable at school and with my requirements as well as able to let go enough to have a life. I'm so grateful for what I'm learning and glad that God's been with me every step of the way. He most definitely had a hand in planning this out for me. It just seems to "fit too perfectly" for it to be anything but His handiwork. Too much of a blessing to have come from anyone other than He who is Love.
The conclusion I have come to... I am blessed.
