Not to beat a concept to death. If the kids get it, move on. Spend that precious time instead on learning something they don't already have mastered.
Not to beat myself up too much. I had both my co-op and my principal tell me not to beat myself up about things that happened today...and I needed to hear it from both of them. There's no way I would've ever told myself not to do that.
Really, some days of the week are always going to be the hardest just because of the schedule. Like Thursdays where we have 3 specials in addition to library time. If I were a 2nd grader looking at that kinda day, I'd hardly be able to contain my excitement, too.
On an unrelated note, I stopped at Target on the way home from the post office today. I had to stop there anyway, but I took some time to just wander through the home aisles again. I love dreaming of what my home will look like. And then...
I found dishes.
Slowly but surely, even the details are falling into place.
And then I came home to 3 pieces of mail, including a new battery for my laptop. I am mobile once more for the first time since sophomore year of college. Oh, the rush of freedom. :)
Today was a good, good day...even if some of the learning was rough.
