I’ve been released from my job as Relief Society Secretary and called to teach Jemma’s primary class. I know, I KNOW I should have read the lesson last week when I first learned that I’d be teaching tomorrow. But I just read through it this morning, and tonight the thought of teaching about Talents is feeling more daunting than I had anticipated.
On Monday I’ll be spending time in the kindergarten classroom helping the kids learn new words and read simple books.
Tuesday and Wednesday I’ll work all day as usual, and I can’t ever seem to fit much else into those days.
Thursday I’m in charge of a half hour art session at the kindergarten. A half hour is not that long, and yet it can feel like forever when you’re trying to teach/entertain/interest 23 five and six year olds. I need to be prepared with an idea, a presentation and a project. Oh, and all the supplies. I’m thinking of doing a pumpkin mosaic, but I’m open to ideas and suggestions!
Is there a pattern here?
Thursday is also show-and-tell day (something scary) and I have a follow-up appointment with the periodontist. Maybe I’ll get some stitches out.
Friday, of course Halloween. Did I really wait until the last week to stock up on candy for the trick-or-treaters? Jordan is still deliberating over a costume.
But now, I’m just having a game of pick-up-sticks with Jemma.

Focus on the sticks, sister, and don't think of next week.
Your post gave me anxiety because I'm solo this week (mike's working out of state) and have much the same calendar as you.
I'm not as fond of Halloween as I used to be. Urg.
Dang, it's Sunday morning and my primary lesson isn't finished. Thanks for the reminder!
day-by-day...although I try to take my own advice...full weeks often stress me out. hope you get a good report from the doctor.
I just got released from my calling also, bet you can't get what my new calling is!:)
This is such a familiar scenario!
Even though surgery is awful, an empty calendar is kind of dreamy isn't it?
