Why does everything seem like work?

Maybe I am the only person that has ever felt this way, but lately, everything seems like work. The kids at school are really pushing things. I feel like I am having to constantly be creating a new way for them to follow instructions and expectations. Tomorrow, I am trying yet another new thing, pre-minder cards for how they are to act during announcements, when they enter the room, during dismissal . . . should it really be this hard? On top of those frustrations, Maddi has been sick. I got called yesterday to pick her up. She was projectile vomiting! We got home and had a day filled with all kinds of bodily fluids. When she was napping, I took the opportunity to catch up on all of the laundry. I think I must have done between 5 and 8 loads when the day was said and done. I never knew an infant could create so much laundry, especially when she is sick. Luckily, Jason took today off to stay with her. I appreciate him stepping in so that I could be back in my classroom today. Yet, finding the balance has been very difficult on us. I don't know that a day has gone by when we have not snapped at one another. Most of you know that we have a lot on our plates right now. While we feel that these decisions are the best things for our family, they are just adding to the stress. I feel like I will never be caught up, let alone ahead of the game. I know that God is in control of all in my life (the good, the bad, and the ugly) . . .
