Control Freak Mother

Yep... I came to a sad realization this week that if I don't do something soon to change that, THAT is who i am going to be.

I was writing the email to the Primary Presidency saying that I will be away this week because I am visiting Family in Tassie. And as I was writing this email I saw just how much of a "routine" I had got my class, or myself, into.

I was writing about who can sit next to each other and who can't and why. Writing about their folders and to ask the kids what they want in them. I was writing about when they can and can't get drinks and go to the bathroom, which tables to use, and so on...

When I read it back I saw what I dreaded... The controlling-over-bearing mother.

I have grown to really care for my class and I've worked hard with them to get to where we are now, and I am so scared that one week of change will result in my kids going back to square one.

Fingers crossed the presidency agree with who I would like to teach my class, because I know that the class get off easier with me so when I come back they'll love me! haha...But we'll see what happens...

I just need to work on letting go, and releasing control...
