Today is the very first day of school for my children and for me. I didn't have anyone take my picture. There was no fanfare. I suppose things change a little for the grown ups! I have to make my own party. I have to get my own picture. I have to mark my own calendar for the journey. I am okay with that. It allows me to tap the inner strength I know I possess to complete something that I have begun.
It was also the first day of PRE K and PRESCHOOL at the Center. The day I am scurrying around to make sure parents feel comfortable and children feel safe is the day the state licensor shows up to do a center checklist. I also have invoicing to do for the beginning of the month. The day could NOT have been busier. It is in that busy time that I am so grateful for the post it notes to remind me of the things I need to address. It is the busy time that I am grateful that I have a job that I love. It is the busy times I feel competent and assured that it will all get done. I love the busy. I embrace the busy.
I lean in to the busy. I conquer the busy.
I look forward to the slow but I know that slow will not become my friend until I retire. I am good with that. I make friends easily so I know I will adjust just fine.
Hi Catherine, I really feel you on this. I must say it was pretty busy for me also, but I must say I think the children will adjust easy to there knew environment. And on thing for sure we must make the parents happy and comfortable, because first impressions says a lot about one's character.
