Puberty

UGH--I feel like I'm 13 years old and going puberty. Every year at this time my face decides that it wants to break out. I've got PIMPLES all over the place. I've got one on my chin that's just huge, two on the side of my nose, and two that are around my nostrils. UGH!!! I'm not sure if it's stress because of the stupid taks test or what--but it needs to stop and it needs to stop now!!! I wash my face and I do put on the pimple medicine--but as soon as one goes away--one reappears some place else. Does my body not realize that I went through pubery a very long time ago? I really wish I could blame my monthly vistor--but I can't. UGH!!!

Oh No it's Sunday AGAIN!!!

Here I am looking at the clock and thinking to myself, UGH I have to go to work tomorrow!! Friday really wore me out!! I'm not sure if it's the pressure of that upcomimg dreaded taks test, or if it was the behavior of my kiddos. When I left school on friday, I just wanted to crawl up in a little ball and take a nap. For the past few weeks we've had a consultant come in and help all the teachers with main idea, summarization, and context clues. It's been a great help, but the things we as teachers have to do is a lot!! I'm worn out and it's only the beginning of the new year! OH LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH!!!!

Work/Dentist

I had a wonderful weekend that sorta extended into today. I had an inservice today, so I didn't have to go to work. It was rather nice. However, I have to return tomorrow. I'm just not in the mood. I have a toothache that's bringing me down. I need to get to the dentist, but I haven't been in years and I'm a little embarresed. I'm embarresed because I feel that my teeth are bad and the dentist might say something. I know that's not an excuse not to go--UGH--- I HATE THE DENTIST!!! Okay so I need to make an appointment--I will keep you posted on when I do...

What a fast monday

Today just seemed to fly by!! My kids were on task and ready to learn. It also helped that my trouble maker was absent today. I think it's because their science fair projects were due today. Still, she knew that they were due today, and I kept pushing them back. UGH!! One little girl didn't bring one in. I told her that they were due today, no exceptions! I have given them 2 months to work on them. The mom talked to me after school today and said that it was her fault--that she didn't read the directions on how to due the project until last night. I said sorry, they were due today. It's minus one letter grade. The mom thought I would give her a break--um no!! And her mother wonders why she is doing bad--HELLO!!!

First Week

Well I finished my first week back to school, and boy did it wear me out!!! My kiddos were great all week long. It seemed like they grew up just a tad over the holiday break!!! Friday night I fell asleep at 8pm and didn't really wake up until 11am saturday morning. Can you believe that 15 hours of sleep. I was tired. This coming week I have to be out a day and half. UGH, I really hate making sub lesson plans. Hopefully my kiddos will keep up their great behavior and do well for the subs!!

NO!!!

I'm sitting here looking at the time and getting more upset that I have to go to bed soon, because I have to go to work tomorrow!! My first winter break has come to a close!! What a wonderful break I had--I'm sad to see it go, but happy that the school year is half over!! I'm just upset because I don't want to go to bed early tonight!! BOOHOOO--I enjoy staying up late watching tv, reading a book, or just hanging out with Armando!!

Can't Believe

I just can't believe that my vacation is over!! Yes, I have to go back to work on Monday! I don't want to, partially because I have to give a presentation to all of the teachers on Monday. Part of what I have to present is sitting nice and neat in my classroom. Great place for it. Oh well, I guess I will just get to school early on Monday and go over what part is mine. UGH!!! I even had a dream about my presentation last night. It started off that I was staying at a friend's house who lived right by my school. It was Monday morning and I had to take my friend's little girl somewhere when I realized that I needed to be at school in 10 minutes, and I hadn't even showered. UGH-- I really hope I don't over sleep on Monday!!!

What a relaxing day

I'm so getting used to fact that I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn--however next week I again will be getting up and heading to school. But in the meantime I am just enjoying myself. Today I got up around 10ish and moved into the living where I plopped myself down on the couch and picked up a book and have done nothing but read my book today. It's not a bestseller--it's a girly novel and I love it. I only have about 40 more pages to go and can't wait to finish it. I always hate when a book ends. I just get so into the characters and I start to feel like I know them. I honestly wish my kiddos at school would feel this way. I can always hope and pray that they will one day feel the way I do!

Happy New Year!!

I hope that everyone had a safe and wonderful New Year's Eve!! May this year bring everyone joy!!
