But reality strikes and I realize I am one of those "messy" kinda teachers. Ya know the kind that if given a choice of 3-4 activities to "enhance" your subject I am always gonna pick the painting, dig in the dirt, glue lots of little pieces of paper to the paper kinda project. I love when kids dig in a get dirty with the projects!...
What I have trouble accepting is that while messy teachers are fun teachers, "messy" teaching creates- well, messes....
I am working on being ok with my piles. I really am! I am working on finding the balance between fun "messy teaching" and cleaning up after myself to create a home that is welcoming and well cared for. It is a not an easy balance for me. I struggle more often than I care to admit and my Prince Charming and little ladies generally get the brunt of my frustration.
Today I am feeling a little overwhelmed with my piles of stuff and yet balancing that with my looming lack of preparation of lessons for this week. Someday I really hope that I find a balance between what I should do and what I want to do... but for now I really need to go get cleaned up and plan some school lessons....
