I'm not sure I'm going to make it to December 19. I have to keep telling myself there are only 7 days of school left before break but I think I'm hitting the breaking point.
I'm exhausted. I feel like I never stop running around. On the one hand I'm looking forward to the social agenda for this weekend but on the other it makes me want to crawl under my covers and not come out. I'm tired just thinking about it.
I'm not looking forward to the 41 Great Gatsby papers I will get on Monday that have to be corrected by Friday in order to get them back to my students so they can have their final draft in when we get back from break. I am not looking forward to how nuts the kids will be all next week since it's the week before winter break and "we shouldn't have to do anything!"
I'm not looking forward to the department meeting I have to run after school tomorrow. I don't want to talk about our 1-3-5 year plans for teaching reading. I don't want to talk about the budget changes that have been made and I definitely don't want to talk about what we should "Drop, Add or Keep!" from the curriculum. I want to tell everyone to go piss off and leave me alone.
I'm irritated that my mom sort of started the whole bitchiness about the holidays again. I don't want to be in the middle of it. I'm not interested.
I want someone to wait on me. To give me a back rub and tell me how I'll make it through the next few days. I don't want all this responsibility right now. I want someone else to do it all. I don't want it. I want to be on a warm, sandy beach with the ocean lapping at my feet and a drink in a coconut right beside me. I want a stack of thrilling novels at my side, the smell of the ocean in my nose and sunglasses perched on my face. That's what I want right now.
Grump, grump, grump.

You can do it! It'll suck a bit, but once December 19th rolls around, you'll be able to kick back, relax, and read lots and lots of excellent books. And we can probably work on the drink in a coconut, too ;).
(And sorry if your mom is bitching about us... I can't imagine what's wrong now, but who knows.)
You know those cute little sign that teachers have hanging from their desks? "Be reasonable - SEE THINGS MY WAY!" or "NOT A MORNING PERSON" and there's a teddy bear in pajamas with a frown on its face. Make one of those signs, but have it say, "PISS OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE" with a grumpy-looking cartoon frog or something.
