School woes
I am just trying to make it through until Christmas. Some days are better than others, though. Yesterday I thought things would be different from before break. In some ways they were; in many ways they weren't.
Some days I'm not sure I can do this job. Some days I think it's the other stuff that's going on in my life that is dragging me down. Most days I just do okay. It goes up and it goes down. At least I had some time today to get caught up and get my desk straightened.
I've had it with arguing with kids. I don't think they see that it's not productive to argue with an adult when the adults are the ones in control--it just makes the situation worse. Grrr.
We have our (collective) eye on a car. '01 Honda Accord EX, hunter green, leather seats. The dealer is putting a new transmission in it and new tires on it right now. When it's done, we get first crack at it. Hopefully we can talk them down to a lower price.

What's the progress on the car? Do you have one yet?
8 more days here, not including today since I'm already here! LOL Hang in there, babe! You'll make it! Just remember that some of those kids who argue back get away with it at home and are probably more in charge at home than the actual adults there. It's that whole "I'm going to be my kid's friend instead of their parent" mindset. It fails every time.
Another teacher's blog (http://www.snazzykat.com/) reminded me of you.
Hope you're good and that car plans are progressing nicely! Kim's blog entry today (http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Sammyismyrock) discusses the sleazy things one sometimes runs into when buying a used car. Dumb salesmen.
