Chaos is springing from the end of the year, from my mom's condition, from my omnicpresent procrastination. As just an example of my chaos, I will bring the following.
Today, this morning, I spent hours (literally, 2-1/2) waiting to see a back specialist for my mom. For this we had to drive to tel aviv early in the morning (it took as 1-1/4 hours to get there..but only 25 minutes to get back...such are the mornign traffic jams!) I mustn't complain, as the long wait was due to the fact that he was called out to do emergency surgery, and once he was back in the office, our turn came quickly. And it was worth the wait and I hope we will be able to get some REAL treatment for her soon. But I digress. What I wanted to say was, that while I was waiting, I toook out my trusty hard-cover teaching journal and wrote a lovely plan for this afternoon's Gr. 4 end-of-year party, whic was to take place at 5pm. Song, activity, song, activity, etc., eat some stuff, give out certificates and favors and send them home.
After my nap (I woke up at 330) I started preparing for our "party" (too late...I should have prepared yesterday, but, as usual...I simply can't seem to do things the day before...yikes!!) I had to still prepare (!) and print out the certificates, and during the course of my preparation, I put that journal down SOMEWHERE and then never found it again. So, the entire "party" I truly had to ad-lib it. Damn. Anyways...the hour passed, as hours are wont to do, the kids got to stuff their faces, as kids are wont to do, and get some little gifts and their certificates, and another group bites the dust for the year. Yay...
I can't wait for July....even though I am "advertising" a summer school...but i hope no one joins up.
The heat doesn't do much to help the chaos either...I am sitting now, windows open, breeze (?) blowing, fan fanning, and sweating like the proverbial pig. My shirt is soaked.
I want to just die!!! Not to tidy, not to clean, not to sort.
Man...I've said enough for now...maybe a shower.....
