Substitute Teaching and Grandma

Yesterday was my first day as a Substitute Teacher. 

I am subbing for an RSP teacher at the high school.  It's not a hard job to sub for this teacher, but I'm sure that her job has quite a bit of paperwork involved.  Her last period is IEP...I can't really step in there, so I wait in the office to see if there is something else that I can do. Yesterday I had about 5 minutes of work gathering students in PE until a teacher showed up from a meeting she was in.

Other than that, the RSP teacher is in collaboration with other teachers except for one period where she has the learning center. There she has an aid and yesterday she asked a guest speaker to come in. All I had to do in there was roll.

I know that there are days when work will be hard, but so far I am just working hard to stay awake.

After the whole day of sitting,  I got home to my mom coming in and informing us that our time table as far as my grandma moving in is concerned has been moved up. She will be home next Wednesday.

Okay.

So here I sit at the school again, feeling like I'm wasting time and space while the clock is ticking on prep work for my grandmother's move in. It's just not good.
On top of all that, Becca has a softball end of season party tonight and a game tomorrow that she has to bring snacks for, the twins have cheer tomorrow, and someone has to get them everywhere they need to be prepared for everything.

Can you feel my frustration?

I know I'm not alone. Tony and my mom are going to be doing quite a bit of work this weekend. It's not just me. Still,  I feel the need to do more. I am stressed because I feel like I'm not doing anything.  It's not good because stress doesn't jive with MS.

This day will be over soon. The week will pass. Things will be calm again. God has this under control.

I'll just continue to say this to myself over and over.
