Now I know what Grandpa Meant

((That is my mom in the white. She is with her brother and sister in this picture. My mom is the baby. She is just as sweet as she looks. ))

Bone weary....I used to hear my grandpa say that but never knew what it meant, tonight I know what it means. It's a deep seeded weariness, much more than being tired. I honestly wondered if I could make it through today. I just felt like I had given all I could give and there was nothing more there. Guess there was because I made it. I think I really just need a break, but our first 3 day weekend off isnt til Veteran's day which is still 3 weeks away. One of my team mates took off half day yesterday and then today to go visit family. Im the only one of the eight teachers in our grade that hasnt had a day off for something. Maybe I should just take a mental health day.

Been missing my family more than usual the last few days, I dont think that is so unusal, when Im stressed I just think of wanting to be home. I especially miss my mom at times like this, she and I were always close but after my divorce we got even closer. I miss just sitting on the front porch with her and talking about my day. Now there is no one to talk to about it. I guess that is why all of it comes out here. I miss having someone to talk to, there is no one here.

ok on to better things. I had my first administrative observation last week, we have 3 a year. Today I had the post observation meeting and she was very complimentary about my style and said that at this time she didnt even have any suggestions, so I guess that is a good thing.

Well Im tired so I think I will go to bed early tonight, sleep late tomorrow and then sleep some more. Seems to be all I want to do these days.

Catching Up

Not much going on with me these days. Feel like Im trying to keep my head above water these days. It's funny sometimes....I think Im a good teacher but Im not sure Im a good teacher. The scores last year were good but will they be this year and if they aren't, is it my fault or is it because the students arent quite as with it this year as last? I don't know.

Anyway, I have a dilemma tonight. Everyone knows that when fall comes the spiders move in and I detest spiders, especially those nasty camel back spiders that look like a cross between a cricket and a spider and they jump. I found one in my hallway today and tried to kill it then it escaped into my bedroom, under the bed, then I went back in a bit later and it was on the wall just above the head of my bed. I sprayed it with some bug killer, I think it was Raid for ants and the darn thing jumped down onto the floor between the bed and the wall. Now I dont want to go to bed unless I find the damn thing...sigh...guess Ill be moving bedroom furniture tonight. Gads I hate spiders.

If I can figure out out to post a picture here Im going to add a couple of my beautiful sister at her wedding. She is the baby and Ive talked about her before, I, of course, adore her. Until later, Adios!
