moving forward

What is best for me...my family...how do I move forward. I spend many hours each day working with students, laughing with them, challenging them, correcting their behaviors - wondering why they might say the things they do.  I then remind myself they are "tweens" or teenagers...they don't always think before they speak...goodnees knows I remember being that age and I continously remind myself how I would dig a big hole for myself and have to find my way out and usually there was someone there to give me a hand.  I really do want to be than hand for my students, but I continously feel bogged down by a few - parents who do not believe I am doing enough, students who don't seem to care and continously refuse my help. 

I am getting really drained....I am taking my frustrations out on my children, being short with them, not always being patient.  I am not sure what I can do - I love my job, but being pulled in so many different directions, students, parents, what is going on with the state and how Mr. Snyder wants to make such huge changes to my paycheck...I am just really drained.

I love my job and my biggest problem is, I can just walk out the door and leave everything behind - probably my biggest fault...caring too much. My mind constantly racing on how to make things better, looking for ways to improve.

I hope the rest of the year goes smoothly and I find a way to deal with my frustrations...yoga helps and maybe if that darn sun would shine again, it would be a whole new world! 

One day at a time, always trying my best and giving everything that I can.

Copyright

Wow-I am working on my 21 things for a class that I am taking through Oakland Schools. I decided I wanted to copyright my website, but since it is through the school district I work for, I can't add HTML code on anything or I can, but I don't know the format and when I ask someone to help me-the code I get is CRAZY and I have to try and figure it out.  Copyrighting my blog seems so much easier - time is on my side! :)
