Mondays



I have a case of the Mondays. This is the first time in four years that I have cried because I have to go to school tomorrow. I have enjoyed the last three years teaching but my students this year are sucking every living breath out of me. I have never disliked a class as much as I dislike this one. I feel sick right now. I don't know if it is because I am dreading going to work tomorrow or if it is from exhaustion.

There is overcrowding in our district and since our school has a few empty rooms, we will be receiving over 100 new students tomorrow. There will be 3 new kindergarten classes showing up ( along with new teachers) and one more first grade class. Along with the kindergarteners and first graders come their siblings. I am hoping that these parents were responsible enough to skip a few years before having children so that I do not get any new students. I will NOT be happy. ( ha, that sounds like I am happy to begin with.) Although I have tests that I need to write and are due tomorrow morning. I am for the first time saying "No", I don't have them. I will give them to you when I have time and if I feel like it. I am going to bed.

The only thing that makes it better is that my baby ( not so much baby).... my little boy gives the best darn kisses in town for sure.
