One of Those Days
Today was a lonely day. I rarely feel lonely. But today I had this heavy feeling of so much to do and wondering how I was going to get it all done. Yet, it was a good thing because I also felt very impatient all day. You know, "I'm lonely but leave me alone."
I started working at the school at 8 am, cleaned the kitchen and the floors very well, did some windows (that ended up looking like crap in the setting sun), emptied the Mercurius order, painted the loft and began the primer coat on the kitchen, did two new family interviews, answered emails, listened to many many many many phone messages, and now it's 7:45 and I am sitting here at my desk with paint splattered hands, getting ready to return the calls.
Opening your own preschool requires many hats and a lot of sidetracks. Today it feels hard and I'm wondering if I made a mistake going bigger than home day care. Like I said, it's one of those days.
Would you feel better if I asked you to e-mail me your address since I finally finished blocking your scarf and am ready to send it to you? :)

Now now! there will be none of that type of talk of wondering if you made a mistake! (LOL!) It sounds like you're briefly overwhelmed - you've had a blessing handed to you to do a great thing & you will and are. Blessings are great, but they take work. Hang in there!

You are just feeling temporarily overwhelmed. Hang in there. You are going to be great!

Good luck to you. Making a pre school is a big and important step and yes, it takes wearing lots of hate. It sounds like you have the passion for it and have been thinking about it for awhile. MMH
