Failing but not failing

My aim this year is to post at least once a week. I have my phone alarm set for Sunday morning so that I definitely won’t forget and I haven’t needed it until now.

I didn’t really forget today. Here I am writing a few words but this is really just a box ticking exercise. A short few paragraphs just to say I did it. I apologise now for wasting your time.

What happened to disrupt my newly formed habit? Life, parenting and work. Since clocking off work on Friday evening I have got my hair done and that was me’time over by 6:30pm. My daughter had 3 ice hockey games, 1 training session and I drove over 300 miles to accomodate them.

I also spent about 10 hours preparing for 5 awards assemblies that I have to deliver at school tomorrow. I sorted through and ordered a pile of certificates that is in the region of 9 inches thick and also added all the names to powerpoint presentations. I finished at 8:30 tonight and my shoulders ache so bad from being hunched over my laptop.

Fingers crossed it all goes well tomorrow. I prepared enough but it’s school and odd or challenging things sometimes happen.

I have to go drink my tea and get some shut eye. At least I posted. Sorry it’s inane drivel.

I have been writing mediocre poems since childhood. To me the process of writing is a release and the results, however mundane, give me a sense of pride. I am a busy teacher, mother (hockey mum), wife, pet owner as well as being a reader, sometime raver and a reasonable friend.
