I’m at a loss today. I have ideas… I am a veritable hamster wheel full of ideas ready to jump ship at any given unnecessary and inappropriate moment. Yet, when I sit down to write - I’m left a bit unfocused. Friday night brain function at its finest.
What moment to choose for today?
Is is the glorious moments in which I locked myself in my classroom and actually kicked out a ton of productive work with the lights off and pure blissful silence?
Is it the moment where I tried to make the function of infinitive phrases fun and exciting? (No, it most certainly is not.). Although, I did have a kid offer his condolences. “You gave it your best effort Mrs. Risser. Ain't no one gonna make that fun. Don’t let it keep you up tonight.”
Is it the last minute need for a dodgeball referee at our annual tournament after school today? The one in which I didn’t plan on attending because picking up the kids on time is a struggle in and of itself. Yet, once I got there I wished I would have stayed, wished I would have gotten a team together, wished more teachers would get involved in those fun moments with kids instead of burning out and running for the hills. We’re just so tired. It’s no excuse...but sometimes it is.
Is it the moment I walked in the house with the kids, mentally prepared for a marathon night of cleaning, only to find my husband did hours worth of it already? (Yes, I think this is it.)
Or the moment we all sat down after making the house spotless to watch our first Friday night family Disney movie - my personal favorite - Beauty and the Beast? (We made it a good 30 minutes in. It’s a new record.)
My goal here was to write more narratives about my life to complete the Slice of Life Challenges each day. Yet I have to say, writing this little list of things I’m not going to actually write about made me pretty happy. It got the job done.
