Just Movin' too fast!

God! Monday, I was down so low believing I screwed up an art contest and of course the worst ever art teacher! The next morning I confessed to my aide, Dedra that I forgot to send in the art pieces and I needed to call the art district office to beg for time when she stopped me cold! "No, you didn't", she said. "You asked me to fax in the necessary paperwork after you turned it in, Remember?", says Dee. "But it wasn't listed on the inventory sheet sent to me on Monday", I insisted with a slightly quivering voice, "I checked several times, looking for my name.
At this point, she's almost laughing at me as she points out the paperwork on my foot high piles of paperwork on my desk. On the top, recently highlighted is my student and my name....bold as Brass! "Dedra, I love you", I shouted and gave her a huge hug. She had come in early that morning, looked over the paperwork I had left and simply highlighted the information for me. God, I love her structured thought processes, strong organizational skills and tunnel vision...all of the things I have short supply of.
The next twenty minutes, I confessed my sleepless night, of self condemnation and worry over what? Somehow in my fearfulness and panic, I could not recognize or find my name. Well, apparently they had alphabetized the list by the art teachers first names BUT REALLY...if I hadn't jump into panic mode or so ready to believe some other terrible thing had just happened...well, am I just movin' too fast!
Of Course...I'm relieved and happy about the turn of events but what if I had REALLY forgotten...would that really mean that everything else I have done is null and void? Am I the only person dealing with that all or nothing senario? Trying to be without sin...isn't human...is it! I've got to think about this some more but Dedra says, " Shara, you think too much". Hey, I think she has a point!
