My class is a challenge this year. I know not every year is a picnic, I get that. There are just days when I mentally throw up my hands and don't know what to do. I have a student teacher, and sometimes I feel like I am not the best person for her to watch because I am just frustrated.
My goal: Become more positive and find what makes these kids tick so that we can survive and become successful together.
Mr. S. and his job are quickly becoming a sore subject for me. He has to be there late so often, I may forget what he looks like. Some weeks are okay and he is out of there at a decent time, but then weeks like this week I never see him. He was home late Tuesday, Wednesday, and I have yet to see him tonight. Then he is gone late for work tomorrow night. Last night he was home at 9pm. Tonight, he said that if it is 10pm, he will leave...so...yeah...Oh, and I hate that I don't have the option of staying late at my job to get things done sometimes.
My goal: Try not to get mad at him and just be supportive because it isn't like he likes being there late.
Working out...I achieved my goal of becoming Body Jam certified. I got my email saying I passed. I was excited at the time, but now I wonder why I spent the money on it. By the time I get home, I am the only one who has been here and I have to take care of the dog who has been crated during the day. I can't exactly go to the gym to teach or work out. I want to lose some weight. Badly. Sometimes I get tired of working out at home. It isn't the same...
My goal: Make some sort of a schedule that works for me that I can stick to.
Sorry about the bitching. No, I'm not sorry. This is my blog where I can do that. I want to cry. I want to scream. I want to go to bed. I'm exhausted, I'm tired of cleaning the house on my own, I'm tired of my house being partially done, I'm tired. I need a break. I need help. I need a moment to myself. I need some wine.
Thanks for lending your ear...or your eyes.
...why is my dishwasher making that sound??

I love that cat picture!
best of luck with all of your goals!
You absolutely don't have to apologize for voicing your frustrations on your blog that's what it's here for.
I'm praying for you and good luck with all your goals.
Vent away, that is what blogging is for!=)
Sorry you are having a crappy time. I feel your pain because I had a year like that last year and I tell you I had to use every trick in the book. It was a LONG school year.
I have no idea what this year holds, but we have a huge 7th grade class again. I also found out that I have 6 or 7 kids in one math class that are supported by a title 1 aid and 7 kids that are in math lab are in another hour. Math lab is for the lowest of low kids in math. It is shaping up to be quite a year and it hasn't even started.
Feel free to vent away anytime and email me if you need any advice or a shoulder of someone who has BTDT.
Oh dear...give me call, maybe we can help each other out!
