A full week of teaching, and I'm cooked. The house isn't nearly the disaster it has been, but still more mess than I can stand right now, and the kids aren't as bad as they could be, but I'd still love to ship them away somewhere else for the weekend. And it wasn't even *really* working--no marking, planning, or parents to deal with. We're not wusses. It's hard. (Love the site redesign, btw) Oh, I am so with you Heather.

And somehow you will get through this. Think of what you have already survived. And at least it's no longer 2006. I don’t know how I did it either. And somehow you will get through this.

It may be because I'm getting older but I look back now and wonder how we all survived. At the time though, it didn't seem that hard. I did it for years.

It's a cup of decaf in peace and quiet. It's reading an article in the newspaper without having to explain why I don't want to be Ursula the Seawitch right now. Sure, it's actual work sometimes too, but I think of it as my quiet grownup time. For me, working is what helps me face the spawn. It’s a cup of decaf in peace and quiet.
