That Girl's A Swimming Fool!

Loves me some Eva swimming without her puddle jumper! How brave is she!?

In school news - yesterday was a frustrating day. (I promise this bitching of mine will end soon.) I just feel like I can't catch my breath. I still have students who may need schedule changes; the teacher schedules that were never properly done are causing issues; our guided interventions are WAY too big and I feel like there isn't enough of me to go around; the powers that be won't allow Kim or Diane to be in our guided interventions as an extra set of hands (how fucking stupid is that when there's nowhere else they need to be?); my co-teaching assignment is a complete waste of my time...I'm basically a glorified note-taker. UGH! Of all the problems listed above, the co-teaching thing is giving me the most pain. I just hope for my/principal's sake that he doesn't ask me how things are going in there because I won't be able to NOT tell the truth (and that may get me in trouble). The good thing about my feelings is that my colleague - who is co-teaching the exact same fucking class at a different period - feels the same way. ARG! I just hate when people are too wrapped up in their own plans/agenda and don't listen to those of us who have been-there-done-that!

Okay - I'm done complaining. On a positive note - I really like the kids and really that's the most important thing. Not that I like them but that the kids are good and things are going well with them.

Today is voting day for the contract. We will hopefully know this time tomorrow if the contract was ratified...fingers crossed because I cannot do anymore negotiations!

Well, guess what? I need to mosey because I need to get to school early to try and get some shit DONE!!!  Happy Tuesday - later!
