It's not often that I feel like crying (other than when I read excellent romance), but I just came home fighting off tears and I'm not feeling too much better now.
My life is moving so quickly right now, that I don't know if I'm coming or going. I've been leaving the house between 6:30 and 7:00 am every morning and not getting back home until after 9 pm. I have so many deadlines that I can't fathom how I can meet half of them....
This is the last week of my first year as a teacher. Shouldn't I be ecstatic to have survived????? Why then do I feel like it will be a miracle if I survive through the weekend?

It's always a little tense
It's always a little tense towards the end of the year and the students feel it too! They get a little hyper and harder to control. They're ready for the break as much as we are. We have 13 school days left but who's counting. Hang in there and next year you'll have an easier time and know more what to expect.

Thanks, but I wish I could say it was
only school! Actually, I've not been having student problems...it's just all the things I'm involved with.
Tonight was my last "real" girl scout meeting as leader, and I thought it would be a happy/sad night. It was just a disappointing night.
Add that to the fact that my summer school curriculum is due and I'm no where close to done, plus the International Dinner/Bridging/Awards ceremony I'm heading for Saturday night, a VBS meeting to plan and hold Sunday night, music to choose for two services Sunday, PLUS all those end of year things at school, and well....
I'm a walking time bomb.

Maybe you need to cut out
Maybe you need to cut out some of those committments. On the other hand, maybe you just needed to vent. Either way, post away. There is always someone here to listen.
"Perhaps what the average member of a group is capable of doesn't limit what a given individual can accomplish." -- Boston Globe, letter to the editor
March's Member of the Month!
I'm going to piggyback on what FF said . . .
You've made these committments but no doubt -- esp at church -- they don't want you burned out. Let people there know how overwhelmed you are and see if someone can cover for you on even one or two things til school is out. And then plan for next year: if these are ongoing activities, let others know next February or March that May is a really bad month for you with everything wrapping up and ask them to step up for specific tasks for May 09. You might be surprised at who's willing and able to step in for a bit. I'm a good example -- I don't volunteer regularly at church or school b/c we have no social support outside our church family (our own family is 1000 miles away) and I don't want to commit when the family must always come first. But I CAN commit to helping with specific projects (esp. stupid little ones like stuffing envelopes that I can do in front of the tv or with an audiobook going). The point is, I just need to be asked/told of the need.
Anyway, hang in there. It's only a bit longer. And do let people at church know that you need help til the school year's over.
