Knitter. Crocheter. Bread baker. Special educator. New grandma.
Went in early. Came home late. Made dinner. Hiding in my bed.

Two more IEP meetings. One more IEP to write. Transition meeting tomorrow. Reflection needs to be rewritten. Just not up to doing anything more today. Including spending time with my family.

It might be stress if you wake up at 4am and start crying into your pillow.

Turned off my work email for the weekend. So sick of parents thinking I’m not doing everything for their kids that I possible can when I write an IEP.

Two drafts to write this weekend and all I want to do is sleep, eat, crochet and Netflix.

It’s the first time as a special education teacher that I have a student I can’t stand. Except there are three of them.

Two months ago I got a new car. The contents of my old van is still living on the dining room table.

Today’s adventure in teaching: student MOSTLY made it to the trash can before losing his lunch. We had the custodian mop down the wall behind the trash can while he was at the nurse.

My youngest would like to know why people are mailing us photos of themselves (holiday cards) and is genuinely confused.

Paul’s Kia is a 2023. It’s already needed the transmission replaced. And tonight, it would only shift from neutral into reverse. Kiddo offered to drive like Mater down Comm Ave.

He managed to figure out the Shift Unlock but once again, new car needs repairs.

Another crappy day of student behaviors and losing my temper.

Came home. Made dinner. Picked up teen and friend from drama. Been in bed since 5pm.

Not sure why I’m not functioning.

The trash bag leaked all over the kitchen floor. Of course that’s when my teenager decided to chastise me for swearing.

I don’t often lose my sh1t but she deserved it.

When you weren’t the one who made the mistake at work but feel like the one who got blamed.

Wake up in the middle of the night only to start crying for absolutely no reason.

Caved and gave John his big gift three weeks early. He’s been using his handheld mini chainsaw ALL afternoon.
