Swimming in school work and totally neglecting my blog. I never thought there would be so much work in teaching. Lots of papers to grade and lessons to plan. I know the first year with a subject is the hardest, and I know it will get easier. Believe me, I am not complaining. I do love my job...really. Like with any other job, I have good days and not-so-good days. The key is to let it go at the end of each day and start fresh. That keeps me sane. They are only kids, and kids will be kids. I know some teachers who have held grudges against kids for years because they acted up or gave them problems. I can't be that way. It's better for everyone.So, not to much scrapping going on at all. I do have a few layouts and projects partially done, but that has been all I have been able to manage. My camera is getting lonely this month. I have barely touched it. I am patiently waiting for my goodies for the Fancy Pants DT...can't wait to get started! Hope everyone is doing well. I miss blog surfing and hope to have some free time tomorrow to see what you are all up to! Keep smiling and enjoying your week!
Miss seeing your posts every day but completely understand. There are definitely a lot of ups and downs with teaching aren't there? It will definitely get easier. Can't wait to see what you have been creating. Hang in there.

Hats off to you, I can't imagine the stress (an rewards) of being a teacher. I know I'm busier with ds in school and working FT.. can't imagine how busy you are. Hoping things calm down and we get to see more of your amazing work soon. ;)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't begin to imagine the stress & joys of being a teacher. It takes an AMAZING person to teach!

Working in the school system myself, I have the upmost respect for teachers. You have one of the most important jobs there is!! I hear you on the no time thing, though - it's been a slow scrapping month for me, too! And I also am so excited to get started with the FP stuff, can't wait!!
