Time Flies When You're Working With Middle Schoolers

So...I haven't been here in a LONG time! This year has been a whirlwind of different emotions/activities. I honestly can't believe that there are only 5 more Mondays of school (not like I am anxiously counting the days or anything) This week has been one of those weeks where I was sure I was going to end up in jail. The kids have gone completely mad and I am ultra sensitive, so it has been an ugly week. 


Although most days are tough, it is not normally this bad. I was in tears on Monday and Tuesday because I was so frustrated. Sometimes I wish I could have one of those "excited teacher" attitudes where nothing bothers them and they are always peppy. (not my personality) Not a complete pessimist, more like a realist. 


Now to take a break from Debby Downer..


Here are some great things about this school year.

• I laugh almost everyday. These kids are ridiculous but hilarious at the same time, and since I have the humor of a 12 year old it works out really nicely.

• My coworkers are great! We laugh, whine, and prank. I love these ladies. I can always count on some inappropriate lunch conversation to make me giggle all day.

• I get paid to do what I love! I have always wanted to do this and I get to every Mon-Fri. 

• Summer is around the corner.
