I swear I feel like the catching up part of my life never stops...but surprisingly I'm okay with it right now.
Let me explain.
I have TONS - y'all - TONS of housework to do. I haven't been to the grocery store in two weeks for a real good old fashion stock up on everything for the week trip. I have paper from school I need to file sitting neatly in my "To File" folder. I have pictures to print. I have cards to write and send. Cooking? Well..... we'll get back to that. I did mention my house is pretty much a wreck right?
But dad gum it, I really think that this is the best school year I've ever had in the making.
My class is amazing. I love the parents of my kiddos. I seriously keep waiting for something bad to happen, but it just doesn't. Trust me, it's nothing I did or am doing. I just have a great mix of kids this year.
K's school is hands down amazing. I was so worried about switching her schools this year, but I LOVE her new school. She has made some pretty awesome friends and her teacher is nothing short of phenomenal. I also cannot tell you how wonderful it is with her being less than five minutes from both my school and our house. We have so much more time together now and I love every single second of it.
These moments - with my family and with my class are moments I can't get back. Why should I stress over the little things when the little things WILL ALWAYS BE THERE. It's so crazy that it took me until now to realize that as soon as I finishing cleaning it's time to clean again. Or that when I finish one thing on my to-do list a bagillion others suddenly show up. I'd rather spend time reading with my kid or dancing around like a goob with my husband just to make K laugh. THAT is what living is for.
I'm not sure I'll ever truly catch up on what "they" say is important, but my goodness right now life is good. :)
