My Stress Level: I've Never Felt So Thin.

No I'm not talking about my body image. Unfortunately. It's actually quite the opposite in the weight department. But that's a topic for a different post my dears.

I'm talking emotionally.

All of you other teachers/anyone who has worked an emotionally draining job that is time consuming can probably relate. And probably face not just the same obstacles, if not even tougher.

But I need to unload.

I stayed at school until 9 last night.

I am at school right now. Granted I am doing work until the track banquet here that goes until 630.

I will go home and grade until I fall asleep with it on top of me and the Dave takes it all off in piles and tells me to go to bed.

It is the end of the year.

I have 5 different events/things to take care of that have been jostled into my day tomorrow from outside sources from guest speakers, exams, tickets to give out from testing that happened 2 months ago, and permission slips that need to be explained 200 times because they're two pages long and due awkwardly early. All of which we found out about this week.

It's only Tuesday.

My classroom looks like it's been torn through by the latest tornado with markers sprayed over the floor and desks disheveled out of their groups and hand outs that I have left in hiding spots around the room that I don't remember. 

Grades close Friday. The kids leave Wednesday. My classroom needs to be packed by next Friday because we're changing classrooms.

I mean...come on...I know the end of the year is supposed to be stressful....but..

HOLY CRAP

The 15th can not come here sooner. Not that I want say goodbye to my kids, but I'm excited to celebrate the ones I've had for two years and send them off. As for the 7th grade I'll find out soon whether I'll have them, so it might be celebrating them as well.

Either way.


I'm feeling a little...stretched...
