Lacking Inspiration

Have you ever gotten down to the time it was time to return to school and you just lacked the inspiration and motivation?!  Well that's where I am!  I am enjoying my sleep time and read time and time with my kids and I'm just not ready for it to be over.

Here are some of my struggles:  (and yes, some are dumb, but still...)

*I have a very ugly circulation desk that I would love to do something to, but I just cannot decide on what to do to it.

*I'm struggling with not having plans done for all grade levels.

*There are textbooks all over the library. Even in my office and teaching room, I can't even begin to work in there.

*Maintenance people have taken books off the shelves and they are just in random stacks.  And they've broken my handrails and it looks really bad!!

*I love the theme that I've chosen but I just don't know how to execute it in the room.

But I love my job, I really do!!  I love that I get to have relationships with all the kids and all the teachers in the school!  I love when I can get a teacher or a student hooked on a certain book or series!!  I'm really good at recommending books!!

Today I got to spend time with some ladies from work and then I went by the school, just to get back into school mode and it worked!  I've been working on school stuff all evening and feeling better about the whole thing.  Also, one of my teacher friends and I hung out this afternoon and sometimes it's just good to be able to bounce things off others.  And she is so creative and should be selling things on Teacher's Pay Teachers because she made me an AWESOME cover for my teacher binder!!

So, Teachers, where do you find inspiration?  Pinterest, Blogs, Teaching Stores or does it just come from others that step in and help you out when you're feeling lost?  I hope if you are feeling uninspired that you can find someone or something that can help you out.

Inspired (finally),
