There is a teacher that I work with who uses this strategy for tackling a To-Do list. I don't know why he does it. I don't know if it is a conscious choice either. I decided to follow his lead yesterday with my mini to-do list. And guess what? It worked!
I have a bit of a larger to-do list for today. But I am going to attempt this strategy as well. I will need to change my list for the week. I feel like I am getting sick, and I need to be honest about what I can do. And I need to be okay with not being able to control all things and adjusting to it. Life goes on. Life is better if I don't try to force the not feasible on myself. I am capable of doing things, I just need to be honest about what I can accomplish and what is the most life-giving of things to do on my To-Do list.
Life goes on.

Week off list.
I have a week off. It is much needed. I do though need to get things done as well. I can be incredibly ambitious in what I think that I can accomplish in my days/life. I then get super disappointed in myself when it isn't accomplished. You would think I would learn, since I do that almost every time I have free time. Expectations please become acquainted with reality. Okay, thanks.
List:
- Make school plans to get through at least the next two weeks.
-Go to school on Monday and clean. Not happening. Life goes on.
- Work on France trip.
- Make mantel decoration.
- Clean.
-Laundry. Bring the rest to Ann and Larry's.
- Bake something.
- Work in the little yard.
- Study for test.
- Take test on Tuesday.
- Doctor's appointment on Monday.
- Hang out with Molly.
- Call Sarah.
- Go for a walk.
- Work on furniture needs.
- Paint my nails.
- Plan out Christmas gifts.
- Go to Target.
- Grocery shop.
Getting that out makes me feel relieved. Perhaps it is doable. I will hold myself to a measure of grace, not perfection.

Worry.
In writing out how I spent my time, I believe it has made me better about choosing how to spend my time. Perhaps there is some sort of accountability in writing it out.
Realizations from this: I can be indecisive which leads to procrastination. I am indecisive because of worry. Worry is the root of my issue. How does one combat worry?
7:00 am- Woke up. Tyler drove me to work so that he could get the car fixed.
8:20-8:40 am- I wrote another parent letter. I need to send the two out.
1:00 pm- Kids went home. It was a good day at school. Wednesdays are always a good day. I went to a union meeting, I don't know if that was the best use of my time, but I felt like it was good to have my face seen and see what is going on.
2:15 pm- PD. Stupid. Most PDs are. I started taking notes that I thought were useful for me, but it was off-task behavior, but I don't want to waste my time.
3:30 pm- Talked with kindergarten and 2nd grade teachers. This was good. Kindergarten teacher seems stressed. Because we all are, but she seemed especially overwhelmed.
4:00 pm- BTSA coach. I wasn't particularly looking forward to this, but it was really good. I need to make this a useful thing for my teaching and not just something to get through. It is all about perspective, right?
5:30 pm- Tyler picked me up. We were talking in the car and it dawned on me that he is super stressed. It started making me think that I need to be mindful of doing things to make his life less stressful. Another realization with all of this time mindfulness: expectations need to meet reality. I will not ever win an award for super-wife. I will never be able to work and keep house perfectly. Expectation vs. reality.
Dinner- Talked about this with Tyler. He made it clear that this is not his expectation of me and that we are still working on adjusting to life as married couple of full-time worker, full-time student. How do I let go of unrealistic expectations of myself? I will hold myself to a standard of grace, not perfection.
After-dinner- dishes and more stuff for our trip to France. Wasted time looking at someone's blog that I went to college with. That wasn't useful, all it did was lead to judging. Looked at pinterest, sent an email to teachers, and an email to a friend. I like it when day-to-day life includes meaningful conversations. Now I am here. It is 10:14 pm. I should probably do some school work, but I have no interest in said school work. I am tired and want to relax. We shall see.

#2.
6:45 am- Woke up, showered, coffee, got ready.
7:40 am- Drove to work. I was disappointed it took me so long to get out of the apartment. Perhaps I need to be realistic about how long it takes me to get up and out the door.
8:00 am-9:35 am- Worked on a parent newsletter for way too long and wrote a parent letter for all of 1st grade for our first field trip.
9:35 am-10:35 am- Phonics and reader's workshop. I was not set up for the day, so some instructional time was missed. Need to keep the day's prep time sacred.
10:50-11:50 am- Writing and IWT. I was so annoyed with the kids, I just wanted them to leave me alone. It isn't just me, other teachers are also annoyed with their students. Perhaps it is just this week?
Lunch- Ate my soup in about 5 minutes. Talked with another teacher, that took a bit of time but it was good to know that I am not alone in the annoyance of kids. Not a waste of time? Got ready for math and ELD. Was a bit rushed. It worked to have the elmo set up during lunch. Thought of having it set up all day. May try it.
12:40 pm- ELD. Second grade boys are pushing buttons.
1:20 pm- My people. They are wild in the afternoon. What to do? Taught math, skipped PE, did math game. Was able to work one on one with a student who needed the extra support. That was beneficial.
2:50 pm- Talked about behavior and handed out paper. Dismissed students.
3:30 pm- Cleaned room and talked with 2nd grade teacher again. Sat at my kidney table feeling defeated about classroom management and feeling like I won't get ahead/catch up with my class.
4:00 pm- Drove to the post office. I had to get a letter. I was worried about it because it was from Oakland schools, but it ended up being something I already knew. I need to follow up on it. That is on the agenda for tonight.
4:45 pm- Walked Basil. It was good to take a long walk.
5:30 pm- Weeded my garden in the dark. The plants needed water and desperately need to be weeded. Trying to think through my funk of these past two days and what to do with my evening/time. I don't want it to be consumed with my job, but at the same time I feel so behind, that it is becoming hopeless. I think I figured out why my mom weeds and cleans and such. It gives you a sense of control. I think that is one of my things, I have a need to feel in control.
6:00 pm- Got on the computer to write this. Was distracted by facebook. Wasted about 20 minutes. Need to work on that. I am going to make dinner now and wash some dishes. I do need to decide what to do for the evening. No procrastinating. It doesn't help.
I made dinner, it took forever. My dad called in the middle of my dinner making, that was a plus. I did some dishes and looked at stuff on the computer for our trip to France/Italy.
Our lights were out on the car, and it messed up picking up Tyler and I cried. Tyler reminded me that it wasn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it was an additional thing that I did not need nor wanted to deal with. We ended the night with ice cream and killing time watching gospel youtube videos. Went to bed too late, at 11:45 pm.

Time.
What I did today as I remember it:
6:50 am- Get out of bed. I checked the weather on my phone, which felt like wasted time, but in the end helped me decide to wear something different and I think that was a smart choice. Got dressed, washed my face, packed a lunch, put makeup on. I typically am more organized the night before for the morning, it took me the same amount of time today to do less things than I typically do.
7:19 am- Left the apt.
7:33 am- Got coffee. This took 13 minutes, it annoyed me that it took so long. But I was happy I got coffee.
Right before 8 am- Arrived at school. I was happy I was at school before 8 am. Got ready for the day: made homework copies and then set up the morning. Talked with people about principal drama, this wasted time. I need to not talk about drama. Shit needs to get done.
8:40 am- I took my students to the assembly. Started my teaching day. Checked homework, this was unplanned, not entirely sure why I chose to do it. Taught phonics, reader's workshop, and did a read aloud.
10:35 am- Recess. I went to the bathroom and I don't remember. Taught reading and IWT.
11:50 am- Took students to lunch. One student stayed in for lunch and recess. His behavior annoys me and I don't think he even knows he is doing it all the time.
12:40 pm- ELD. Went better than I expected. I am grateful for sample lessons.
1:20 pm- Read aloud. I don't think the students really like it. Need to figure out this regroup activity better.
1:30 pm- Math. Not so good.
2:20 pm- PE. We did some outside math, that was a positive. We played duck, duck, goose because I was too tired to do anything else. Some students don't like it because they don't get to participate. I don't blame them. I just don't have a better answer.
2:40 pm- More math. I had it in my head that I could do assessments during this time, it didn't work out. I was too tired to deal with it and also needed to get the homework taken care of. I need to tape off the window. I didn't appreciate the parents being early and looking in my window at me doing my thing and the students doing their's. I always feel like parents expect the teacher to be doing something with the kids at all times. I see their kids more than they do.
3:10 pm- Hand out homework and raffle tickets.
3:15 pm- Scrabble to put together students' packet of work. I left it to the last minute because I didn't know what to do about it. I was late to a meeting because of this procrastination. How does one not put things off just because she doesn't want to do it or know how to do it?
3:40 pm- Meeting with volunteer. Hopefully it is a worthwhile experience. Talk a little bit with kindergarten teacher. She also had a crazy day, it made me think that mine wasn't so bad. Her classroom is more organized than mine. She has been teaching longer, but is still new to the school/Oakland. I am jealous of her more organized classroom. Sometimes I feel defeated that it won't get better, so why bother. We talked about stupid paperwork that has to be done for the principal. The question becomes make it worthwhile and invest in it because it is sound teaching practice or just bullshit the principal.
4:15 pm- Wander back to my room. Talk with 5th grade teacher and rehash some drama and learn new gossip. What good did this do? This is a stretch, but others perhaps learned from my mistake. Talk with the 2nd grade teachers. Not necessary for my life, but I like them. Is that a good enough reason?
4:45 pm- Realize that I need to go and get my stuff together. Go to the bathroom and drive to get Tyler. Talk to my mom on the phone. I have a tendency to multi-task while talking to her, she does the same to me. Does this say that this person is not important enough to just talk to that person?
5 something- Get Tyler. Talk to a friend in the parking lot. Go grocery shopping. Talk about our days. Grocery shopping always takes forever. I wish there was a way to speed it up.
6:46 pm- Get home. I am happy we got home before 7 pm. Tyler takes out dog and I start dinner and put away groceries. The kitchen is a disaster. We were gone and there are almost week old dishes in the sink. It is stress-relieving to wash them. to feel as though I am accomplishing something. We eat, talk, and then clean up the table. I put lunch things and breakfast together and clean out the coffee pot for tomorrow.
Basically 8 pm- Tyler goes and does work and has been working ever since. I get on the computer and start wasting time. I have looked at blogs, pinterest, and facebook since turning the computer on. I had turned it on to send a work email. Ha. Pretty much have spent the past 2 hours vegging out. I feel stuck, I don't know if I should go to paid planning time for ELD tomorrow or go to the post office and come home and water my plants. I don't know which is a better use of my time? Instead of answering that question for myself I have been avoiding it. This is how one wastes two hours, from avoidance and procrastination.
Pros of going to paid planning time:
- extra money
- 2 hours dedicated to planning
- Potentially get ELD kit
- Get to work ahead in ELD
Cons of going:
- late evening
- can't go to the post office until Friday/Saturday
Pros of coming home:
- Go to the post office- peace of mind over mail
- Water plants
- Come home earlier
Cons of coming home:
- No extra money
- Not planning ahead in ELD
My indecision about 2 hours had put me in a grumpy/tired place for these 2 past hours. I think the thing that will be the best for me is to come home and go to the post office and have the peace of mind of getting my certified mail.
I am just tired though. I am tired of teaching work that has to be done at home. I am tired of not fully relaxing. I don't work well at this time after dinner, when I get in bed and chill out. Maybe I need to not get in bed? Maybe I need to not stress myself out with the expectation that I will get work done on weeknights at home? Have certain evenings off and that is ok?
10:25 pm- Typing this. Going to go to bed. Tomorrow is a new day.
6:50 am- Get out of bed. I checked the weather on my phone, which felt like wasted time, but in the end helped me decide to wear something different and I think that was a smart choice.

Time. Transition.
I have begun to believe that time is the most important commodity there is in life.
I want to tell my time what to do. I want it to listen to me. I don't always feel as though my time is my own, I have to do what is expected of me. I must satisfy a role. This brings me back to dialogue I and the question, who am I?
I have come to a point where I need to admit to myself that I don't really like being here in CA. I don't like feeling alone and feeling as though I have to maintain a facade of enjoying the new adventure. Perhaps that is why my neighboring teacher continues to ask me if I like 1st grade. Perhaps she knows better than I do that this transition is difficult. I don't want to give up on 1st grade, and I don't want to give up on myself either.
So I said it. I don't like it. It sort of down right sucks. I don't like feeling all alone. I don't like the way I perceive the seminary students walking around with an air of superiority. I don't like being out of the conversations about classes, professors, etc. I don't like that there isn't anyone here who seems to be like me, female, straight, working, married to a student that can become my instant bosom buddy.
I am blessed. I need to remember this. This may need to be my own issue and not something that I throw on Tyler. How do I get through this? How do I not grow resentful? Or act as though Tyler owes me?
I need my own community. I need people where I belong. Perhaps there is a midwesterners support group. I need to be me, and perhaps that can be the beauty of what comes from this, that I learn to maintain what is my essence, even when it doesn't seem to be anyone to share it with. I need to stay truly me.

I don't want to.
I don't want to.
I don't want to have to go back to work. I don't want to be stressed out. I want to live into joy and peace. I don't want to worry. I don't want to feel like a failure. I don't want to feel as though I am not good enough. I don't want to feel overwhelmed. I don't want to feel as though I can't do it well. I don't want to feel off-balanced.
My weeks and weekends have such different speeds. I love my weekends. Which maybe that is the blessing, and I need to relish the rest. Will the rest sustain me? Can I allow it to sustain me?
This is a beautiful life. I am truly blessed. I need to live into that.
