Dear So and So

[alexis_the_tiny]

Dear body:
No no no no. You are not allowed to get sick. Finals are in a week, and I still have studying to do. No. Not allowed. No.

Owlie, I just said the exact same thing to my body today. 3 days ago, I was just recovering from a viral infection that was making it hard to breathe. Then a kid sneezed into my face. And now, hellooo sore throat, headache and sniffles. My job is not giving me enough health insurance for this!

Dear life in general,

quit kicking my butt. Seriously. I walk around with a frown ALL the time because I'm stressed about work, school and well, work. I don't know how to handle the new behaviors in my classroom. I don't know how to set up my dang classroom. I don't know how to defend the decisions I make in my classroom to my co-teacher. And depressingly enough, yes, she's right, all I have are theories because neither of us have ANY reliable training in teaching special ed so I can't exactly demand that she go along with trying my ideas. Also, that flat tire that came when I was about to head off to school was NOT welcome.
