It can't be that time again!

It can’t be that time again.  The time when I feel like life is spinning faster than I can keep up and NOOOOOO!  I need to vent.   I have to process and well, you guys get to be the sounding board.

  • I gained weight over the summer, but if everyday is like today, losing it shouldn’t be too hard.  I didn’t eat lunch or go to the bathroom until 4:00 p.m. and I don’t even have kids at school yet.
  • Caleb went to the orthodontist today…spacers next week, braces Sept. 9th!
  • I had no idea how expensive braces were, wow!
  • Had first staff meeting today…missed first hour because of braces, 2nd hour a little crazy….glad we don’t do that everyday.  I do better to go in my room, shut the door and teach.
  • Rushed home to pick up girls, headed back to town for open house for their school, dropped Caleb off at football, stopped by the grocery store to pick up a few things and now I’m typing as the oven preheats.
  • The girls are upstairs finishing their summer homework that I loathe!  I know I should understand,I’m a teacher, and I know it is good for them, and I know they have had plenty of time to do it, but I still loathe summer homework!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Still have no class list and I have to do home visits for 18 kids next week.  Have an all day workshop Friday and Monday….and have 90,000 things to do in my classroom.
  • Caleb’s birthday party is Saturday.  He’s having a butt load of people and ask me…do I have anything ready?  Plates, napkins, cake, games?  NOTHING – I have nothing done!  It will all be fine, we have a sort of plan, its just I’m just feeling a little stressed.
  • My kids start school tomorrow.  It doesn’t seem like it should be time to be back into the rat race yet!  Where did my summer go?
  • I don’t want to fix lunches, I don’t want to help them fix lunches, I don’t want to get up earlier, I don’t want to have to remind them 900 times to do all the things they should know to do but seem to always forget!
  • I’m fat! 
  • I need clothes that fit!  Oh wait, maybe I should lose weight.
  • Still don’t have everything together for the talent show – don’t know how I’m gonna get it together! 

OK, enough whining…I’m getting on my own nerves, but I had to get it out!  I feel better now…thanks for listening!

    Last day of summer vacation!

    So what am I thinking at 10:07 p.m. on the last night of my summer vacation?

    • This could possibly be the last time I see 10:07 p.m. on a Monday night for a while.
    • Where did 2 entire months go?
    • NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’m trying to figure out a way to make school a four day work week…surely there has got to be reason enough with gas prices!
