Sad, bored, excited, and nervous
Yes, I am in Teacher Mom mode. I guess I am ready to go back to school. I am doing a little bit of school work each day. My room is set up and I thought I was going to have my high school room to myself, but found out that the teacher I shared with last year will be back in my room again. I say "my room" because I have 5 out of the 7 classes in our room. She is only in there for 2 classes. I will call her...Betsy. She has been there 2 years longer than me and is a part time teacher. Last year, for my first year, I was in our room and she claimed the head desk and mine was stuck over, half way out the door. Yuck. I was told my admin I could have the head desk, but then she secretly, with tears in her eyes if she could have it. How could I say no, here I am low man on the totem pole and not wanting to cause trouble, so whatever. It was a pain, because her desk was at the front and next to the computer table. We have to take attendance on the computer, so we do use it.
So, when I found out that Betsy wasn't going to be in my room and for 3 whole days thought I had my room to myself, I went in and switched the desks around and hung up all my posters and got "my" room ready. Then, I get an email saying that they switched her classes back into my room. I sent an email admitting that I already switched the desks and she was okay with that.
I hate stupid things like this. I just want to teach, just teach, not deal with stupid, petty teacher things, deal with emails from admin, professional days, parent requests and email, and ugh, just all that extra stuff. I just want to teach!
But, anyways, I think it is time for me to get back to teaching. I am ready. We have done all of our summer stuff. The weather is changing. I am excited to meet my new students and see some of my old students. I had some juniors last year, so they will be big seniors this year and I am so excited for them.
Oh yeah, another reason to get back to teaching...I'm broke. I need a paycheck again.
But, first, a wedding over the weekend, so a crazy family filled weekend getaway and then, voila, change my hats from stay at home mom, back to my alter ego - working mom.
