My last day at the soul-sucking elementary school was Friday. *cue huge sigh of relief* The kids were great many of the other staff were nice and I had a wonderful paraeducator, but I started with 4 bare walls and no curriculum. Not to mention a mandate to use all kinds of online and electronic resources that I had to beg for passwords for because nobody had thought to make sure I had them. I had to beg to get on the building email list, and most of the time they forgot me. Nothing like finding out you have to box up your math materials an hour before you have to leave on the day you have a class. oy! But it's over and I left a reasonably well running classroom. So now... my mother is in the hospital.
We are not close- but I'm trying to do my share. My house is a wreck b/c of the 12-14 hour days and weekends I've been putting in. I have to keep up with my class. and what am I doing instead of printing out my notes? Doing laundry and pondering Yuletide
