Two days down...178 to go. :) Actually, the first two days of school have been pretty good. My kids have been pretty well behaved...I have one that I have started noticing today that I will probably have to get a thumb on but not too bad. He is a new student and just starting to come out of his shell.
The most stressful part has just been trying to get everything done that needs to be done in a day. We really need a couple of hours added to our day to fully cover things the way they are intended to be covered. I am very nervous about teaching the new math program our district is using this year. Tomorrow will be my first day to teach it and I just really don't feel ready yet. I don't want to do a half ass job of teaching them but I'm not sure I understand the method enough not to. We'll see how it goes. I think it is a really good program but am feeling less and less like I have the things I need to go with the program to make it fully functional. Hopefully after I get used to it, the lessons will go well. And once I am not so tired it will be better also. I did go to the American Idol concert last night and it was a lot of fun. David Cook was AWESOME!!!
On another note, I am struggling with the part of my life that often gets me down. The part where I am still single with no prospects in sight. I spent some time with my nephew and my best friend's baby this summer and it makes me want a baby. The sad part is, I don't even have a man in my life. I feel so ready to be settled in my life and starting a family. Sometimes it seems to unfair that I am not getting to do that. I am past the point of going out to the clubs or whereever people go to meet someone. I enjoy staying home or going out with a few friends for a calm evening...it frustrates me that at almost 28, I am even having to look anymore. And don't feed me that bull about when you least expect it or when you quit looking or whatever other line, it will happen b/c honestly, I quit all that a long time ago and LOOK, I am still single...no hubby...no babies....me and my cat...that's it. I really don't want to be the old cat lady. :)
So to sum it up, my professional life is going great while my personal life just isn't what I am wanting it to be right now. Eventually, I'll be over that depression for a little while but for now I may just wallow in self pity.
