Slowly losing it
There is a cricket in my wall and it has been there for 3 days. I know that it superstition that its a sign of good fortune coming our way-- like a baby, or money. but I will give anything to make it shut up!!!
Anything driving you insane?
Re: Slowly losing it
But I am slowly loosing my patience with my parents. Hopefully soon. Hopefully soon.
A few things are driving me crazy.
1. DH is so sensitive. He got new glasses. I didn't help him pick them out. I really don't like them. I didn't tell him I didn't like them but I did say that I wish I would have been there to have helped him choose a pair. I said I have to get used to him in them because he looks so different. He got really upset and mad at me. I feel bad but I was just being honest.
2. My co-teacher treats me just as a substitute. I didn't know there was a staff meeting on Tuesday so I didn't go. She didn't mention it to me at all. I got in trouble for not going. Also, my co-teacher had an informal meeting with the other 5th grade teachers yesterday during our prep period. I didn't even know about it. My principal saw me in my room alone. She brought up the fact that I wasn't there and I have to start acting like part of the "team". Ugh! I am trying my best to be part of the team, but I'm being excluded! The 5th grade teachers are all friends outside of school, how am I supposed to just jump into their little group and become one of them?!
3. I feel like a single mom because DH isn't home 2 or 3 nights a week. He stays at his parents because his job is an hour away from where we live but only 10 minutes away from where they live. It's hard on me to be the only parent at home after a long day of teaching.
4. I want to go to Park City, Utah to ski this coming Jan or Feb, but DH says we can't afford it. We can make it work, but he thinks we should pay off our bills instead. He's no fun
5. I have the desire to get back to the gym but I have no one to watch Liliana and the daycare at the gym won't take babies that are under 6 months old.
Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.
Oh yeah.
1. There is a guy in on my classes that is consistently arguing with the prof about how the class is set up. It's the most annoying thing to read. GRRRRR. Suck it up and do it or drop the class. Nobody ever said the class was an easy "A"
2. My extremely naughty two year old cat. He's flipping over his food dish, getting on top of the fridge and just being a jerk.
3. My car. 500 dollars worth of repairs and it still isn't all the way fixed. Then my step-dad telling me "I could have done that." Yes I know you could have. Sadly, it had to been done NOW. I couldn't wait for you to drag your feet and two months later, it gets fixed

I am so angry for you... They are excluding you on purpose and you are getting in trouble for it.
Thanks = ) Sadly, car repairs are a sad fact of owning one.

But I will go back to my usual phrase... You are the age you teach.
Thanks guys for your advice. Sorry I am just getting back to you now. The principal actually called me into her office on Thursday morning. She said I need to stop acting like a substitute and more like a real teacher. (I wanted to say that my co-teacher treats me like a sub, but I didn't say that.) She mentioned that I wasn't at the staff meeting, that I wasn't in my team's "informal" meeting, that she thinks I leave a minute or two early each day, and that I was on the computer when my students were in technology class and I should have been walking around assisting. I didn't want to talk back to her but I did say sorry for missing the staff meeting and that I felt real bad about it but did not miss it on purpose, I really just didn't know about it. Also, I said that my co-workers on my team are all really close friends outside of school and I'm trying my best to make my way into their group. She was right about me leaving at 3:28, instead of 3:30 I really thought it was 3:20 when we could leave ,but I didn't tell her that because I didn't want to talk back.
I was actually crying (in the restroom, no one saw me) on Thursday when I left the principal's office. It makes me so mad that I already "got in trouble" and it's only the third week of school. I'm trying so hard to make a great impression. Hopefully the principal has not already made up her mind about me.
