I agreed to teach Sunday preschool at a friend's church here in town after going over my budget and realizing that I need the $75 I will be paid for doing this "favor". "It'll be as easy as craving chocolate!" I assured myself and brashly accepted the position.
I figured that even though I said I never wanted to teach again after quitting last year, this would be an ok compromise to make under the circumstances. It's just three Sundays for half an hour each time (which is a significant improvement from the 60+ hours a week I used to work) and I'll be paid. Also, I'm great at it. There's no reason to say no.
However, I fear that I may have greatly underestimated the depth of my burn out and the strength of my fiery hatred for all things teaching. I guess sometimes you don't know how much you don't want to do something until you do it.
Any ideas on how I can get motivated to make lesson plans? Or at the very least get motivated to show up on Sunday?
