I don't post much when I'm stressed & anxious & generally unhappy, so I haven't posted much this month. Lots of not fun stuff going on in the world of education. Not so much in the classroom {thank Goodness I have a great class this year. They will keep me sane}…but all the other "stuff" has got me even questioning myself as a teacher. It's really been a rock-my-world year, so far. Last weekend, after much discussion with Mike, I decided that I would indeed survive this professional crisis and I would become better for it. It really boiled down to the fact that I just couldn't complain any more. And the very next day I received my cross country coaching evaluation ~ which put a little salve on my wounded self- esteem. It was glowing. And I was so very thankful to read that I have actually had a positive effect on kids.
And now it is Christmas vacation. A delightful word, vacation.
I sit here with only the light of this Kindle and the white lights of our Christmas tree, listening to the rain...hoping it actually does turn into the 6 to 10 inches the forecasters have been promising for two days. {I didn't go to weather college, but I think I can safely say, it's not going to happen if temperature remains at 46 degrees.}
But I am hopeful, for that is the person I choose to be.
