I truly wish that I could get on here and post more than once a week. Reality is what it is though, and frankly there just aren't enough hours in the week right now.
I've got twelve more school days of my long term sub job. I am going to miss the kids TERRIBLY when my time is done, but it will be time. First grade is a little rough this time of year, although I've so enjoyed seeing the progress these kids have made in just a short period of time. The part of the job I'm NOT going to miss is the fact that even after being at school from 8 until 5, I still have work to do when I get home. Not my things at home of course, but more school work (if I'd had less sleep I'd take this opportunity to do a rant on how lots of people like to complain teachers are overpaid because they don't "work" as much as everyone else since they have summer and holiday breaks). Because I know that I must stay up on sleep in order to not get sick OR become a raving lunatic to my family, I feel like I'm missing out on my children's lives. Some might feel I'm over reacting, but that is my favorite job in the world, and I don't want to miss out on that. So while I know that I'll still be very busy with "regular" subbing, I'm looking forward to getting to be just "mom" again in the evenings!
