The Tide is Rising

Transitions -- I'm not a big fan. I try to be a go-with-the-flow kind of girl, but those of you who know me, might be laughing a little at that statement. I'm too Type A. Either I've always been Type A and not realized it or else have become a more rigid Type A as I got older. If that is the case, I blame it on being a teacher. There are so many details to tend to on a daily basis that I trained myself to be uber organized so I could function and survive. During my first few years of teaching, I spent a lot of time trying to keep my head above water. That wasn't much fun.

Lately, I've been having that feeling again. It's not school this time, it's the juggling act at home. Even though I knew it was coming and tried to prepare myself for it, it hasn't been easy. I'm not going to whine about the specifics. Let's just say I really appreciate the down time with my family that doesn't happen as often as it did before. I hope things get better as we work out the kinks. Last time I checked, life preservers aren't handed out until the beginning of June.
