I went to work today filled with hope

And then I saw this:

Which sort of looks like my house; filled with potential but lost behind lots of work. When I look at it this is what I see:

Combined with the knowledge that I haven't developed my Meteorology curriculum yet, and I'm in no way fit to lead the Earth Systems team this year, and I haven't figured out kid care for the coming year, and that I don't know how I'm going to juggle work, and mom, and a house, and dating, and still squeeze in a dog somewhere. It may just be a classroom, but it speaks of everything to me.

Needless to say, the hope has been shattered and replaced by sheer terror. I know in two weeks I'll be raving about how much I love my job and it will all be worth it. For now? Well, I'm just going to go to sleep and dream that it's all ok.

Hey, you're supermom, remember? That means everything else is a piece of cake. Maybe a molten lava cake ready to erupt, but isn't that the best type anyway? Good luck and have fun! Believe it or not, I'm so totally jealous of you! I still fight every day with the thought that I should be teaching. =)

This is going to seem rather random, but I thought of you today when I saw this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/xkcd/dacb/

If I was in a science classroom (which is what I prepared to do when I was in college) I would so totally get this shirt.
