Day 75: Are we there yet?
I'm looking forward to Christmas break. The first part of the school year, ie until now, is apparently the worse part. It's an uphill battle getting the girls in gear, getting their brain juices flowing in the right direction, getting them used to our routine.
Then, it's an easy roll down the hill until June.
Unfortunately, I can't see that happening in my case.
In my vast (75 days) of teaching experience, I've come to realize that no 2 days are the same, new challenges, new problems (mostly) seem to arise at every sound of the bell. Someone forgot their homework, someone had family problems last night and couldn't study for the test, someone this, someone that...
I often think I'm trapped in a bad Dr. Seuss book. In this one, the Grinch is not stealing Christmas, it's running away with my SANITY!!!
I'm heading to the couch now, with a nice hot green tea. I need to start catching up on some of the TV shows on our TiVo because we're going to run out of space, and my hubby is TRHEATENING to give me a bigger hard disk for Christmas. (How boooooring is that?)
