Boy, did I wake up with a bug in my ass today. I haven't been so grumpy at school in an age. Today I just had no patience for misbehavior and children not paying attention to instructions, not following directions, and simply refusing to participate. I'm exhausted with being nurturing, patient, and understanding. I'm tired of fake-smiling when I'm really thinking "Oh for fuck's sake, just sing the song and let's get on with it." Asking for the umpteenth time for children to sit up with good posture while they sing. Listening to ridiculous reasons for why he or she can't sing this or move to that song ("My bones are swollen", I was told today). Really? Is my whole school full of one apathetic child after another? Does your mommy still wipe you ass for you, or do you manage that one on your own?
I'm not so sure it's just spring fever. Yeesh!
