It has been very difficult getting back to a "normal" school week since Christmas break.  We only took the week between Christmas and New Year's off and I remember telling my husband how relaxing it was!  No lesson planning to do, as I believed it to be ready to go.  No Christmas rush to deal with.  It was great.  But from the 1st on, we have had more disruptions and brain lapses than the rest of the year put together.

First, I had a few days, not back to back, that I was called into work.  Work being helping my family's music business.  I only get called in when it's computer related!  Yuck!  But each time, it's an all day--stop everything--day.  That gets discouraging when you have each day mapped out.  I know that things come up, but I'm not very good at dealing with the unexpected--should I admit to that? 

Then this brain dysfunction stuff started.  It went like this:  "Oh, I don't have that ready.  I'll have to get that.  Oh, that will take a while.  I better do it on the weekend.  Oh, wow, I forgot about that.  No point in starting that; better wait."  Until, we were doing spelling and math and that's about it.  Pathetic.  Soooo...

I don't know what causes such brain lapses, but I'm sure it has to do with housework.  Somehow, everything bad can be blamed on that!!  If we just had clean baseboards we wouldn't have these problems!!!  LOL  I'm definately having a winter, grey days slump. 

Now, we did have some sunshine yesterday and I ordered us all outside for a little vitamin D and a new perspective.  I don't think we were out long enough! 

So I'm on my knees today, praying for divine intervention.  I'm hoping the Lord will help me get out of my own way, so that I can function!
