When You're The Mom...

A friend sent me this article today with the comment: "Ky, this is you". The article was entitled "5 Things You Do When You're The Mom of the Friend Group". I chuckled and figured I might relate to 1 or 2 of the items. Wrong. I'm guilty of all 5...

Enjoy!

I Could Cry... But at least we are in SINGLE DIGITS!

If you have ever seen the lesson plans that are required of education majors, you would understand how unrealistic they are. Minimums of 6 pages to describe something that ultimately will be a 30 minute lesson... I'm sorry but NO teacher actually does that.

So, after spending an hour and a half working on ONE lesson plan, I went back to my groups google doc in order to check one of the TEKS that I was using. Guess what. I had done the completely wrong day. I was assigned Tuesday's lesson plan (we created a schedule of lessons for an imaginary week), and I had just done a lesson plan over the activity that was planned for Wednesday!

Deep. Breaths. Deep Breaths. It will be okay. That's just extra practice that will make me a better teacher, right? Deep Breaths.

But hey, atleast now that it's 1:24 AM and I'm about to start the correct days lesson planning, I officially only have NINE days until I get my Fightin' Texas Aggie RING!
