sweet

its been a long week in teacher world. yet it has flown by. 

having a sub in theory sounds like a great idea. i mean a day off??? who doesnt love that? key word. theory. it is actually so much more of an inconvenience. having to write good plans so things you WANT done will actually GET done. leaving your kids minds in the hands of complete strangers. you work so hard to get them to learn and try to learn and then one day off in the mix brings ya back to square one in the learning game. and no matter how much you train them how to behave with a sub (or in my case threaten) they just cant seem to get it right....all this to preface why my week has seemed so...ugh

i had a sub half day tuesday

half day wednesday

all of thursday (which is our minimum day)

and we went on a field trip today.(which was SOOOO fun...but very tiring)

so my class got a total of two days instruction with me this week. 

which makes it difficult to keep up with the pacing set by my school when the subs did not get a chance to teach or cover all of the things i needed done. so i must reteach and continue to teach what i need to in order to stay on track. enough with the ranting. 

bottom line its been a long week...

that ended wonderfully. the boyfriend was very sweet and came over with chinese take out for dinner. it was so nice to just stay at home. to stay in and have dinner and be able to just lounge and relax. much needed. and VERY appreciated. he is ok...i think i might keep him
