Trying to stay afloat

The other day my sister commented on how my blog posts per week was low. I told her I know And I do. And all I can say is that since Christmas/winter break I have just been trying to stay afloat. Because my job is kicking my butt.  
I know this is my 8th year of teaching and I should be on top of it.  But I just picked up a third class this week. (which is actually the easiest class I teach there)  And my other classes are brand new preps to me.  And I have always done lots of collaboration.  And now I am on my own.  Teaching things I have never taught before.  And while I am very capable, I am having a hard time keeping up.  
Unfortunately, when I feel a little overwhelmed in one area of my life, it rolls over in to all other areas of my life. And so for the past few weeks, I have felt like I was just getting by on a daily basis. And so blogging just hasn't taken place.  Just school and kids.
But today, I did all my school work for the next week.  I am taking control back.  And so I hope to be taking my blog back.  
Look forward to more posts from me soon.
Until then, Go Cardinals!
