Oh the holidays!

Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts, final, paper, lesson plans, parental contacts, school evacuation plans, meetings, chores, bills, etc. I feel, along with many others, I'm sure, that everything comes crashing down in December. Deadlines rise to the surface and I find myself praying during the day. I actually look to prayers to help me complete what I need to during this month. I am reassured only when I hear the stress of the others. I know that is not a considerate thing to say (or type in this case), but it is comforting to know I am not the only one. It is also comforting to know that things just have a way of working out and falling into place just as they have the previous December!
