I have a case of the grumps today. I believe that I handle stress quite well for someone with a lot going on, but this time is just plain ridiculous. I just figured out, about two weeks ago, that I have been working about 10 hours a day. Literally. I was wondering why I was so tired and eager to lay down with a great book every evening. After sleeping, I've never felt fully rested.
My kids always ask me, "Miss C, why don't you have any children?" To which I reply, "I do have children, all of you." (They think I'm joking, I'M NOT)
I'm beginning to wonder if this is necessary. I feel, as a teacher, I have so much I want to share...but there just isn't enough time in one day.
It's true when people say teachers wear many hats. I've been: the mother, the disciplinarian, the cheerleader, the motivational speaker, the shoulder to cry on, the IT tech, the "oopsie" fixer, the grammar patrol, and the learner -all in one week.
I'm looking forward to the three day break this weekend! :)
