Mondays. Why I always feel like I havn't done my homework

It s funny...My first Art class I teach is on Monday, and even if I'm super prepared( I have been doin this since 1997), I still wake up feeling nervous that someone is going to catch me out that I havn't done " my homework". When the class is going , it all just flows out of me and come s so naturally, but the angst that I have before hand...You would think I'm a complete novice or charlatan, who is faking a fine art degree.
Talking about homework...When you finish school, varsity, post grad etc. you think" well now I'm done, no more homework , studying etc.".
WELL....If you have kids( and mine is in grade 2)..You do it ALL over again. I'v just finished my home work today with him. 8+1=9, 1+8=9, 9-8=1, 9-1=8.......AAAAHHHHHHH. I have no patience with my own flesh and blood, and yet have oodles of the stuff with strangers...Whats wrong with me.? I am reading Kipper and the Giant at the moment....PLEASE save me. I wish I could read it for him, so it could be finished faster.
(I'm going to write to the teacher and tell her" I've passed grade 2 a LONG time ago, do I REALLY have to do this??????)
But , I through all this, I am still vaguely responsible, so I will plod on through the Grade 2 syllabus AGAIN. but this definately has to be one of the BIG sacrifices a mother makes for her kids.
