DH is coming home from a long business trip, so the weekend will be all about reconnecting. - DS and I both missed him! Sunday we'll see extended family too, for BIL's birthday lunch.It has been A WEEK folks but we made it! Any excited weekend plans?
I’m so so sorry, I am overwhelmed just reading this. I cannot imagine what you’re going through. Prayers and hugsI’m so sorry I have not been reading and posting. I can’t even begin to describe what a challenging school year I am having so far. I have never had so many demands and difficult students who have severe special needs with so little support. 7 of my students speak Portuguese, and 10 speak Spanish. Thank God for my English speakers. Dibels testing showed that only one student is on level, the rest are well below level. Technology is glitchy. We are overcrowded. I don't have enough tables, chairs, or cubbies for each child. I'm at 25 now, but I will be at 35 by Tuesday. It’s all just too much. I have my fall tension headache that begins in my shoulders through my neck and up the back of my head. I’m hoping that with a long weekend off, the pain will go away, but as of right now, it looks like I will be booking my chiropractor for acupuncture appointments next week.
I have become so overwhelmed and frustrated that I have broken down crying multiple times. I have never fallen apart in my classroom like this before in my 23 years of teaching. But my colleagues are experiencing the same issues. We consider only crying once a day a win now. My friend came to me yesterday with a black eye from a student who punched her in the face. It’s all too much. We are filing multiple grievances with our union. Pray for us.
I have lost 10 pounds, but this is one heck of a way to do it.
