until I can submit paperwork for my certification!!! Considering one of the weeks is only 2 days due to the Thanksgiving Holiday....it's less than that. Wow! It's been going okay. Need I mention that I stopped three fights in my classroom this week? Yep..even in 2nd grade they throw fists. Ugh. I gave one kid a chance and got him out of the situation but when he went after someone else...I sent him to the principal. I won't mention that that particular day was hectic and the co-op teacher had a dr appt so I was there with a sub. Ugh. I do try to make the sub teachers do some work but they just seem to sit there...easy money for them. One sub told me "I don't need to do anything...you are doing it all!" Yep..it's like that. One sub did grade papers. That was sweet. How about some positive reinforcements for the kids????
Between the blog world and me...if a job came up in this particular district and I had a choice between elem school or pre-k...I'd take pre-k hands down. THe co-op teacher asks me at times which I prefer...and I tell her that both have their goods and bads(which is true)...but I know for myself...I was much more at ease and comfortable with the pre-k children and I had way more FUN! In other districts...elem school isn't so bad...I could and would do it.
No news on that possible job yet either. I'll have to check on that next week.
Anyways...besides being wiped out...things are good. I made my dh and I a nice dinner tonight. I try to cook at least one worthy meal a week. The others are something quick..no recipes needed, etc, etc. I'm trying to exercise and keep up with my back exercises. I try to keep my home life non-busy..relaxing and quiet. Ah...yes...quiet.
My dh and I still talk about adoption. He said when I'm ready to pull the plug he'd be okay with that. I'm not ready. I see no reason to quit. It's in God's hands and He hasn't told my heart or mind to quit. I am glad that when I come home I don't have to contend to my own children right now...I'm tired...and I just need to rest. If I had children...I'd be living that "other" life and I'd be tired and taking care of my children. Lots of people do it....so can I...(or we can). I do love my busy life right now...I love everything about it...if we are blessed to add a child to our life....we'd love that new life too. God will let us know when it's time. I'm completely assured of that.
I hope everyone has a good week! God Bless.
Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us!!
How exciting that you're almost done! It sounds like you're doing an amazing job! It sucks that the subs don't help out more! I know that a lot of them are looking for full time positions so they need to step it up!
ReplyDeleteAdoption is so hard to wrap my head around. It also doesn't help that I have such little free time to do research! When it is time I know that the Lord will let me know too!
Congratulations on being so close to get your certification paperwork submitted!
