There are not enough words to describe the week. Due to major changes at school, each class on our entire grade level (7 4th grade classes) got 2-4 new students last week. I got three, one of whom is known in teacher lingo as a "special client"! To his - and my - credit, we had a good week. Then the other boot dropped just after dismissal on Friday and due to totally different grade level difficulty, I will be getting a "special, special client" this coming week. I can't even think about it.
On top of that my professional development course that is hard to get into and not flexible timewise started on Monday. It is more complex that I even imagined,but at least I find it interesting! So every waking moment has been spent on that. Thankfully this week was academics "light" with the new students and I didn't have a lot of grading or prep. Also, thankfully, I had a plan in place for sewing.

I set up the quilt to just do spirals and that's all I did! Usually sewing is soothing, but this week it wasn't. Maybe it helped me and I didn't realize it. I will continue with it this coming week. My sewing took a hit since I was on autopilot, but that's okay. I knew not to force it but just do what my mind and body needed.

A week with lots of changes and added work is never fun. You did really well at keeping up with your stitching time. Hopefully it soothed over some of the rought spots even if it didn't feel like it did. Hope you have a chance to just breath this week.
ReplyDeleteYour spiral quilting looks great, it's a great pattern for relaxing the brain. I hope the coming week will be quieter, despite the special special client. Thank you for sharing and linking up, hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you had a bad week. Hope you didn't have too many problems with your newest special little snowflake this week.
