Unfortunately not falling asleep until 2am all the week before totally though off my sleep patterns. By the beginning of the week I was feeling sleep deprived…and all who know me KNOW that I cannot function without sleep. I become a short tempered, cranky, annoyed, jerk. And that is pretty much what happened this time…except I brought it into my class. I’m sure my kids could sense I was annoyed and short-tempered…buuuut it didn’t feel like it stopped them one bit.
Monday and Tuesday I felt like they were purposely doing things to piss me off. Tuesday was the worse day of all, I wont go into details…but I was feeling so frustrated and upset that I literally cried for a moment in the closet. Only for a moment, but it still was horrible :/ . Tuesday night I took sleeping pills and went to sleep. I felt more refreshed when morning came. That morning however, we had our first big snow storm with gusts up to 60mph. Power was still on, but Internet and phones where out. My morning routine was already out of wack (I normally email my sister in the morning and check email). Walking to school wasn’t the greatest…who would have thought that ice pellets getting blown at you at 60mph would have hurt as bad as it did?
Never the less I trudged on. When I arrive at school I started to get the morning things ready…including labs. Today the kids were going to paint, so I was getting the paint ready…well…pretty sure it’s a good idea to check to make sure the lid is on before you start shaking up a one gallon jug of paint. Within seconds I had green paint all over me :/ Sooo, I had to wear my parka most of the day while my clothes were in the washer and dryer. Now im sitting here, writing on my Thursday evening, and you know what? Today wasn’t so bad. In class today we tore apart a pumpkin and carved it, as well as made our own pumpkin patch in the classroom. Tomorrow looks even better…homemade applesauce in class, karate, and a coworker/friend’s birthday. If anything this week has taught me…it has taught me that although this week started out shitty…it can always get better. I am human…we all have those days/weeks sometimes. :) Cheers to a hopefully good weekend
haha the paint incident is priceless!! cant tell you how much ive seen that here. for me, i just drip it on myself, or splatter it. every time. :( i am so happy i am part of your routine! but we havent chatted much the last couple of days, makes my days suck too. and as for the winds and snow, all i can say is if you dont like that, never go to chicago. its freaking ridiculous, i told you how i would be out there and just cry because im too cold to do anything else. and it would hurt because your tears freeze. not fun!
