It takes a few weeks, and since you were gone for a couple of those, it's only natural that you feel behind. Also, just remember how important you are in those kids' lives...You are there for them, even if you feel like you don't have the best laid plans...Take care, PaigeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039982068251638786.post-64400436073751113202009-09-14T21:33:04.033-06:002009-09-14T21:33:04.033-06:00Oh Debbie, You always do great!

I have felt a few times like I am either drowning or on the verge of a heart attack (figuratively speaking). I am usually in my room by 7AM and not out the door until PM--BUT! This is the norm for my teammates as well...and everyone I am working with is saying the same things...overloaded, not enough time, rush rush rush, not time to talk to colleagues and adequately plan...I know it is not much consolation to you...but don't beat yourself up for being behind--glad you are getting well. I like my job, my school, and even the kids (who are just about the most challenging group I have ever encountered within 4 walls). It will get easier and better.--DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01335504361328777447noreply@blogger.com
