I Don't Want to Go to School!
I don't know what's wrong with me - I am usually ready when the time comes to go back, but not this time. Each year it seems that just as soon as I get used to being home, our break is over, but I have never dreaded it like now.
Maybe it's because I'm going to have to create a new routine. Our condo wasn't really finished when summer break began. Now that we are settled in our new home/new bedroom, I'm going to have to get used to getting ready in a new area. I'm always an early riser, but knowing that I'm going to have to make myself look (fairly) presentable as soon as I get up is stressing me out. Today I've been worrying about such mundane things as . . . do I drink my coffee before I get dressed? What am I going to pack for lunch? Should I go in early(ier) to try to get some work done before the others arrive? When I get off should I go straight to Curves or come home and get a head start on supper preparation first? Will I even feel like making supper when I get home?
When August 10th gets here it will be even worse. That's when I will begin being on duty at 5:30 a.m. I literally cringe when the phone rings, because that means I have to start making calls to try to find subs. This continues until 9:00 p.m. each night. One day last year, I kept track of how many times I answer the phone during the day. On that particular day I answered the phone 45 times - this did not count the calls that the other two girls took. So I think it's only normal that I hate to answer the phone once I get home.
Oh well - there's no reason worrying about it now. I know I'll be okay once I get there, but right now I'm even putting off going to bed. You know why? Because I know once I go to bed, the next thing I'll have to do is get up.
