This whole working this is overrated. In the beginning it was fun and exciting, the kids were quirky and I felt like I was kind of on top of things in my life. Fast forward about 5 months and working is no fun, too full of excitement (and not the good kind). The kids aren't quirky anymore they are just strange delinquents and I feel like a failure in every aspect of my life. I fight with my husband, my house is one day away from a feature on hoarders and I may have ordered new underwear and socks for my kids and shipped them two day express instead of doing the laundry I am so far behind on. The end of June can't come fast enough.
And while all of that is true it does still feel good to get notes from my students saying "Think you for all the hrd work you do" and encouraging words from administrators about how smoothly thing are going even when I feel like I'm trying to build a house of cards in a tornado.
Is it Memorial Day yet?

Oh hon, I know what you mean about feeling overwhelmed with work when you have a full home life too. Especially as a school year comes to a close. I'm sure the kids are getting really restless. Hang in there. Your almost done!
