Still not sure

I am still feeling funky. When is this funk going to leave? I can only hope that after the tennis season is over it will all start to get better. At least then I will be able to go home right away at least three days a week. When swimming starts that won't be that bad. I can skip easily if I have to, I can go home and get changed and eat, you know... swimming is just a lot less stressful.

I just need a vacation. We don't have a day off until Thanksgiving! THANKSGIVING! Can you believe it? I know most jobs don't get vacay time like we do but teaching is a totally different type of job. We don't get adult time and when we do manage to sneak some adult time in we get corrected as if we were children. I don't know if this is how it is in all schools but it is defintally like that at mine. What makes it worse is that we can't even do anything about it. There is no one to complain to, no one to make it better. All we can do is sit there and complain which is all that has been going on, spurting my last post. I will say that Friday it was much nicer in the faculty room. Maybe everyone is finally getting tired of complaining. I sure do hope so!

What do I want?

I used to love my job. This year it seems like more problems are being caused more quickly. I mean this is the third week of school and everyone is bitching and moaning about EVERYTHING! I don't know what is wrong at school, I don't know what is wrong with the administration, I don't know what is wrong with the order. What do I know? I know that I am slowly starting to despise the only thing I was ever certain about... teaching. I know that I love kids and working with them but I really don't know if I want to teach anymore. What am I supposed to do? I am supposed to love my job. Ugg... I am tired of this. Is it Christmas yet? Better yet, is it June yet???

Four weeks left

Why did I think it would be a good idea to work full time, take two classes, and coach tennis all at the same time? I am so tired. I love tennis but I can't wait for this season to be over. To make matters worse, Jim is now working the night shift so I only get to see him for three hours at MOST a day! That sucks. We are newlyweds for goodness sakes!

Once tennis is over I think I won't be as stressed. It is over the last full week of October so that is good. The two classes a semester is going to be sticking until I finish up the masters which I hope to do next spring. I only have 8 classes left to take. As long as the classes are all offered that will take me to spring '09. The next step I am thinking about taking is getting certified in Montessori education just to give me an extra boost. I plan on not working when I have kids so I figure having the Montessori certification would help me if I wanted to come back to my school when my kids are older.

I say now that I want to not work but I am also ready to start having kids now, Jim's not, but I just started teaching. This is only my third year teaching. I don't know. We will have to see. I would love to have my kids go to the school where I teach but that would never happen. The teacher's discount would not help at all, and that is going by the tuition now, not when my kids are school aged. Oh well, I will have to think about it some more. Maybe I could keep teaching but part time, we shall see!

It's back to the real world for me. Summer is OVER!!

On Monday we had an impromptu BBQ at our house. Originally it was just Lauren and Matt and by the early afternoon all of our siblings, with the exception of Eddie who is in North Jersey, and parents were also invited and there. If I do say so myself it was a nice party! 

I had to be back in school on Tuesday. We had meetings Tuesday and Wednesday. Then the kids started back to school yesterday. I am so exhausted! Now I start class for myself next week. I am taking two this semester. What am I nuts??
