I can no longer label these blogs as DAY #1, 2 or 3 but rather the date will have to suffice. It is just a reflection of my life right now - all out of sorts. I have good intentions and want to have EVERYTHING in order and complete but it seems like I am always falling short.
I try to be a great teacher in Summer School but than I let everything else fall....my kid comes back from Baltimore with her father and I want to be an attentive mother to Liliana and than all of a sudden I am not such a great teacher. The house was clean but now it's not. Where is the BALANCE? How do people get it all done and do it well?!?! If you have any FREE advice I will take it. But it has to be FREE because my finances are not that great right now either. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
And Michael Jackson died! So this is the picture from summer school. I taught Spanish I, which I haven't done in five years. It was FUN but I forgot how much tedious planning it takes for just ONE lesson. So of course I HAD to do something with MJ when he died. But what does Michael Jackson have to do with Spanish class?!?! Well, I had them create a MJ memorial using stuff wer are learning in class. It worked, que descansa en paz Michael Jackson.
My other reflection was that of a mother to Liliana. I am so BLESSED to have met such good people here in MIAMI as well. My friend ANNA who watched Lili ALL week while I was at a conference. AND these three adorable girls (Paige, Eden, and Carol) and their inspiring mothers.
So, I for sure am not near perfection but GOD is and HE has been so GOOD to ME!
I will continue to pray for balance in both of our lives. May we one day get our hands on that golden carrot... but may I also say that my life is much more balanced with you in it. You are my equalizer, my stabilizer. You always know how to lift some of my burdens when my scales seem to be tipping out of control.
