How much longer?

March 31st, 2005 at 03:40 am

I am so tired of my job. Yes, I love my kids. Each one of them is special to me. BUT after a day like today, with some of them behaving the way they were, it's all I can do to NOT just say "The H with it!" and walk out the door. Most of it was just generally not behaving -- but the crux of it was M at lunchtime. He INSISTED that he had hot lunch today, but then he did admit that his mom had sent him a lunch. When I told him that he needed to eat the lunch his mom sent him, he went into a 5 or 6 minute crying rag which only ended when I handed him the phone with his mom on the line. We get out to the lunch room, and I ask the lunch ladies if he had hot lunch -NOPE! Of course he's still insisting that he did, and that teacher's shouldn't force kids to eat food (whatever kid!)

It sure didn't help that I didn't get a very good nights sleep last night. Not really sure why, cause I went to bed at a decent hour, and think I went to sleep fairly quickly. But all day I just was feeling out of sorts. Of course M started in on his shenanigans the mOMENT he walked in the door this morning.

Oh the Earth project went off fairly well today. It kinda got pushed to the end of the day, which ate up our usual clean up time, but the kids were pretty enthused about it, which was good.

I used my free gas card today -I actualy have $1.24 left on it, which is actually kind of an annoying amount. But it was free gas, so I shouldn't complain too much. Smile

Lost tonight was just SO awesome! I had missed it so much these past couple of weeks. I can't wait till Septemeber when it comes out on DVD. Smile

Oh! The Spring Fling has been canceled for this coming Sunday. Apparentally I was the only teacher who had any parents willing to bring things or to help out with the games. Oh well, I really wasn't looking forward to losing my Sunday afternoon anyway. Maybe I can take in a movie at the $1 theatre instead. Smile

I'm off to keep reading this great book I started yesterday - "Otherwise Engaged" by Ellen Goudge. It's about these two friends who switch places for six months to see if the "other side really is greener". So far, so great. Smile

Keeping It Frugal in Texas,
