Yes, it happens all the time...things are not quite finished going into this week's lesson plans/activities for school.
And the stress comes.
And the freaking out comes.
And the nightmares come. (Sometimes.)
But something finally hits - there will never be a time when everything is done.
Breaks are needed.
Friends & family are needed (and are more important).
Other responsibilities are needed.
The lessons will go on. The students will learn. (We hope!) And the cycle will continue - more (never-ending) planning for next week.
It's important to be able to sit down on a Sunday night and fully (or, at least, mostly) believe that the week ahead has great potential...even if something unexpected happens or if plans change.
We adapt.
We move on.
We keep plugging away.
Because we are teachers.
Because we love what we do.
Because we care about our kids (while attempting to maintain our sanity).
