Its Friday! for Jan
I had kindergarten on Wednesday and oh my. I had forgotten how much energy they have. I of course had recess duty and it was raining so I had four classes in my room alone for thirty minutes. I think I will have excuses next time they call but they did not tell me it was going to be kindergarten on the phone. It took me all day yesterday to recover. If I didn't get the hugs from the kids I couldn't do it. They are a handful but sweet. The biggest problem is it is such a small school system the pay is the pits. Its almost not worth it.
I drove a bus for 13 years and burned out doing that, I do not know how much longer I can sub in the classroom. I think I need to go back to school myself. I could go back to doing taxes, I did that for six years but the pay for that around here is bad too. I think I just need to move.
I am with Jan that the extreme weather this past year is not what I want . It can't be as bad this year. No way will two years in a row be that bad, or at least I hope. I need a mild winter for sure. I am already planning to try a cruise during the coldest part of this winter.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Susie~I applaud you for being with that many Kindergartners for even that long. I love the little kids, but just my 3yr old grandson can wear me down in thirty minutes. So I say God bless you and all the other teachers out there, the kids are our blessing. The hugs are the best.
I drove school bus for 8 years, had from K-12. and the highschoolers were the least trouble. Loved it until they took too much of our authority away, got tired of some of the parents not accepting the behavior of their children, and the schools I drove for were too money hungry to step in and back the drivers most of the time.
I'm really praying for a mild winter, going back over the road would be nice to not encounter too much Ice and snow. Actually the snow isn't so bad as the ice.
HUGS
