Going Insane. And Fast.

So today my kids were just off-the-wall and crazy.
Non-stop talking ... and not just with me. They were held in at lunch today for rude behavior.

I accomplished 1/4 of what I had wanted to do .... I couldn't handle it.

So I went online and found that a conference was being held tomorrow in Manhattan about AIDS/HIV prevention for elementary school classrooms.
I wrote a long proposal about how I should be permitted to attend (none of which was a lie, but still...I may have been encouraged to submit this last-minute paperwork because of my kids driving me up the wall.
The principal approved and now I don't have to go to school tomorrow.

Amazing.
What a relief.
I don't know what I'm going to do on Wednesday, but I need to figure out something.

Almost done. And now with tomorrow being a non-teaching day for me, I only have ONE full-5-day week left this school year! Yes!

...
I just re-read what I wrote. I sound like a senior in high school. But I am at a loss...I started 2 months into the school year with these kids, and have been just fighting uphill all year. I'm really looking forward to next year.
