Miss Kelly (my teacher name) is Miss Tired. Miss Very Tired. I've been neglecting other things since starting the new job. I don't want to slack off, because it is hard to get back into the swing of things when you do that. But to be quite honest, I'm too tired to even thing about doing other things.

My imagination is on overload! I thought my year as a writer and artist could prepare me for a classroom. Yikes! It is quite possible that in one day in the classroom, I use more imagination more than I did in the 10 months I was off. In 45 minutes I am a pirate, the captain of a boat, a donut maker, a star (the twinkling kind), a mommy, the babysitter, a castle builder, a singer, a dancer, a painter, a teacher, a nurse, a storyteller, a pizza maker, and whatever else a room full of three and four year olds came dream up.


This blog might be neglected until I can adjust to the new schedule. It's not the only thing that has been neglected.

I have tried to keep up on writing my novel and I am up to 17,600, but I have even slacked on that in the last few days. I feel guilty neglecting this, because it is very important to me.

Exercise has been neglected. Run three miles? Can you do that with both eyes closed? I can barely drag myself to bed at night, running three miles seems as impossible as running a marathon at this moment.

The housework has been neglected--but this has always been low priority, so that's where it will remain. There's a clear path in and out the door, the dishwasher gets run and there's only a small back-up of laundry, so I'll live. A few dust bunnies won't kill me.
