So Worn Out, Spent $

June 3rd, 2013 at 02:30 am

Ugh. Today I spent about 9 hours at the school trying to get ready for tomorrow. That makes a total of about 25 hours (not including time before school got out when I was doing research for ideas.) I do NOT feel ready at all. I have three assistants, but they won't be getting there until the same time the kids do in the morning - so no way for me to prep them and make sure they know what all we're doing. I met with them on Friday for an hour, but that was barely enough time to sort out and group the kids ..

I had two classrooms to set up the desks and put down chairs. No decorations whatsoever in either room - just not energy, time or able to get to resources (free ones at least..) Couldn't find any math manipulatives, the toner on the copier was running low, and the computers need Adobe Flash updated to use the Math website I want the kids to use ... Ugh.

I really need to do dishes and laundry, but will only manage to get a shower in before I zonk out tonight I think.

CCF - thanks for pointing me to the job possibility. I checked it out and even started an application. But the more I thought about it today, I really don't think I'd feel good about leaving after I'd already signed my contract here.

Yesterday I finally took the plunge I've been thinking and debating about for a long time. I upgraded my phone to the 4S. With the new cover, it cost $121.xx for the 16 GB. One thing I hadn't realized is that ATT has 4G coverage in this area - I guess my 3GS phone couldn't pick that up. I'm very happy with it so far.

So far in June I've redeemed $20 in AGC from SBs. Tomorrow I'll redeem another $5 one. I'm pretty close to my next $5 AGC with Irazoo. I'm really hoping tomorrow's daily goal on SBs isn't too ridiculous - otherwise I probably won't be able to make it.

    Man, those high SB goals are deadly. Hope you get some rest!

    I know - when I saw 90 today ... on a Sunday. I just about croaked. Made it - no thanks to a survey that froze my computer half-way through.

    Laura, understood on the application and I do know your school probably would not appreciate the short notice to replace you, but always remember to do what is right for YOU! And there's always next year. Smile
    I'm sure the kids will enjoy there time regardless of how you feel the planning and preparation has gone. Good luck!

    And there's been a big lack of surveys for me. Ugh. Just when I'm trying to meet CCF's goals!

    Hope you got some rest and feel more energized today. All that planning is tiring, but you will be glad you did it all when it comes together. Sorry about the challenges. It seems like our printers at school are either out of toner or need service.

    Thanks all. Today went pretty well. Smile My feet hurt and I am SO tired, but the kids seemed to like what I had planned. Smile

    I won't make the swagbucks goal today, even though I did one survey all the way through but it won't credit me! Ugh.
