tired.
I'm so tired of working working working.
Ugh.
Oh well.
The money seems to disappear as soon as I get it but whatever.
Maybe by the winter I'll be able to get a new car.
I'm driving mine into the ground as it is right now.
Today is a basketball game so it's an easy 4 1/2 hours or so and I get free breakfast which is always a plus.
I'm going to take some of the giveaways home because one of the students at LEARN likes basketball so she would appreciate something like that. She lives in a group home and asked me the other day if I could get her tickets, but obviously I don't have the power to do that. So instead I'll surprise her with some Connecticut Sun stuff like some cards and a pin from the All Star game and such. She will appreciate it I'm sure. I think I'm also going to get them a new card game like go fish since the only one they have right now is really a memory/matching dinosaur game.
Good thing I'm not going to be a teacher anymore.. or else I'd end up spending my entire paychecks on the kids lmao.
Yesterday was rough. All the kids were having an off day and this one girl Sarah usually has temper tantrums but yesterday was bad. I got a shoe thrown at me and I got slapped twice. She hit one of the other kids who I was pushing in a wheelchair on a walk outside when a car pulled up with those stupid little yappy dogs.. she is set off by loud noises.. and it was just a bad situation. I felt bad for her aide; she was trying to grab Sarah's arm and lead her back to the classroom but she got smacked and nails dug into her arm and stuff.
Then this kid I work with a lot now pretends he doesn't know how to read. So he gets all up in my face when I'm trying to make him read and he has a huge problem concentrating. I finally took his poster off the wall and hid it but the teacher told me from now on just give up and let him do whatever.
It's so difficult at times but I really do enjoy it. Yesterday though was so stressful. Then Clay Aiken was at the arena.. and it was a looooong show. I was mid aisle so I got the work out of my life. I didn't get home until around 11. So I worked from 8:30-11 with only 2 hours for a break in between.
All I have to say is, thank God for Zoloft. Or else I would be stressed to the max right now and probably have no friends and would have already strangled one of those kids lmao.
I can't wait for my mini vacation.
