Movin' On

For real. So now the ego really wants to take over. This is the ultimate professional test....so far. How you handle the situations you have no control over determine how you handle life. I hope. It feels kind like jumping out of plane, knowing that somone else packed your parachute.

A friend of mine said it's like going on a trip....by airplane. You can prepare all you want, but once the plane leaves the ground you cannot control what happens while you are in the air. How true is that?

Maybe I need this. Maybe I need to take less crap and be with different people. Of course I don't think I need it right now. It feels like I am being forced to say goodbye, once again. It feels like everything I have worked so hard to accomplish in my professional career will be put in a box, on a shelf, so I can tie shoes and wipe noses. It is why I do not teach first grade.

I want someone else to teach them how to read and be students so I can get them already trained. I would not do well with a puppy, either. I am surprised my own children lived to be adults considering my lack of patience and frustration with little kids. Of course little kids and puppies love me! Of course they do!!

So maybe I need this, and it will teach me something. I am going to try to look at it as an opportunity to learn and grow. But it's hard when you go from college to kindergarten in the same year. How does that happen? I will stop questioning it, because who knows how anything happens anymore.

I will be moving on...again. I guess my job is done. It is not for me to decide, but that has to be okay. The plane has taken off, whether I feel I am ready or not. It is now heading down the runway. Hopefully I will get some in flight refreshment and have time to read up on my early childhood curriuclum before the plane lands.

Oh, and did I mention the plane is on a mystery flight?...destination unknown. The only one who knows where the plane will land is the pilot. I am no longer in control of the situation. I will let you know where we land.
