stress building up ....
I hope I can make it through the next 7 weeks in school.Work seems to mount.
I know I created more work for myself. :)
But this is part and parcel of teaching, if we wanna bring the current curriculum to a greater height. The easy way out is of course to just duplicate what previous K1 teachers had done. But .... this is just too stifling for my colleague and I.
As I focus on the curriculum changes, I am glad in a way, my class' concert item is planned out already, with someone's help. It is obviously not what I want my class children to do for this year's concert. BUT I will go along. I won't wanna fight it through. I wanna keep the peace and harmony.
Maybe next year, I can fight for it right from the beginning. I hope I will get to do it. I just can't adopt someone's "baby" just like that. And, maybe, I dun have enough stamina, if I still wanna continue to do the curriculum changes for K2 in the year 2007 at the same time.

Zoe's preschool route is mapped out. I just need to submit the necessary documents to MOE. I've spoken to her new Principals-to-be. Both are understanding and accomodating. I am trusting God in helping Zoe to adjust to a new school and new teachers.
As for Zane, it is quite set that we will take up the Early Intervention Program by Fei Yue, rather than waiting for Autism Association of Singapore to give us a placement (and the social worker told me Zane is no. 17th in the wait list!!) I have no time to wait. Zane is already 4. It has to be these two years whereby we intensify his intervention programs. ABA is very expensive. And that will require me to be sahm again, plus, Zoe won't be at home most part of the day. Maybe in 2008, we can do that?

Money. A very pressing issue. I am literally asking God to drop money from heaven now. Fei Yue program may be steep due to the income means test. And we may have to drop Glowing Seed, which is very dear to Zane and we don't wish to, as we are seeing gradual improvements in Zane.

God, please help.

As I look at the amount of school work waiting to be done, I also need prayer. It is no joke looking after Zoe and Zane alone. God, give me energy, focus and efficiency. I need to complete as many tasks as I can within a very short frame of time. Please help me.
Just Jess rumbling so as to unload some stress off her heart.
(very thankful that today is school holiday and I can catch a breather.)

Man proposes, God disposes. I have learnt last week that I can plan this and that, but at the end of the day, as long as we submit to God's will, He will know and will do what's best. Take heart we have a God who cares. : )
You're always doing the best you can....take care of yourself too.
Ladies,
Thank you for your love and concern.
I will take good care of myself.
This afternoon, gave myself a one hour breather at Jurong Point, before I pick ZZ.
:)
