The Truth Is…

Where: Home in bed watching Ally McBeal Season 1

Weather: STILL COLD

Fast food – nope! 2 MONTHS still going strong.

Soda – nope! 2 MONTHS still going strong.

Sweets – no – 1st full week.  Sweets include: ice cream, cupcakes, pastries, candy bars etc.

The few things above, follow the format I have been using in my written journal for the past few months.  It is a pattern of journaling that my therapist recommended and I have found it to be easy to do, sometimes all I can get down, and a great reminder of the small things I’ve accomplished.

Work is busy busy.  I have IEP (special ed) meetings every day this week, and I’m supposed to be helping another counselor organize for the in-school ACT, on top of all of that, I’m supposed to be in homerooms talking to the sophomores about scheduling.  There are 15 sophomore homerooms, homeroom last about 15 minutes, and scheduling happens next week on the 15th.  My IEP meetings start at 8am and homeroom starts at 830. BUT, currently I have to help some juniors pre-bubble their ACT answer sheets during homeroom.  Are you confused yet? I need a clone.

I know it probably seems crazy to complain about needing a vacation in a job where I work 9 months out of the year, and get federal holidays, plus fall and spring break but…. this job isn’t really what I was expecting when I was in grad school.

It is a lot more.  Testing, scheduling, counseling, academics, meetings…some of these things we weren’t even taught about in school.  This has been a long year. I’m ready for summer.

In a completely different direction…

My blog depresses me.  I don’t know why I continue.

I read so many witty, funny, and charming blogs. And mine is such a reflection of me. Depressing reality. Where do all of these women get their funny stories and their sunny days?

I’m envious.

I think today I’m the statue.
