Just one of them days...

{via}

Today has been one of those days. One of those days where I really question what the hell I was thinking when I became a teacher. One of days where my nerves have had me shaky all day. One of those days where you realize that parents can sometimes be just as bad or even more disrespectful than the teenagers sitting (or not sitting) in my class. One of those days where if I hear one more "Miss", I will scream!

I don't know what's going on... if the fact that Spring Break is right around the corner has my students acting all kinds of crazy or if it's just me drilling too much FCAT into their brains that has them like that, but I am tired. I'm so tired that as I write this I am wondering if this is even making any sense. Freewriting... that's exactly what I'm doing. Just letting everything I feel out without worrying if I even have complete sentences. I'm too tired to even care about that kind of stuff right now.

Today is Leap Day after all. I was listening to the radio this morning on my way to work and they were discussing leap day and asking people to call in and share their thoughts on the following question: If you could do something on leap day and have no repercussions, what would you do? Well, I didn't have an answer to that at that very moment but I think today, I would have just walked out of work, mid-day. LOL. Of course, this is assuming that there would be indeed no repercussions. My students would not be unsafe. I would still have my job come March 1st. 

I will tell you... although there would be no repercussions, one thing I would have.... is peace of mind. 

I really needed to run away today. 

Really, really.
