**Whine Wednesday**

The ghosts, the goblins, the vampires-

Oh my!

The candy, the costumes,

the witches that fly...

Halloween is almost here

but before the trick or treating quest 

Get your whine off your chest

Re: **Whine Wednesday**

  • DH's family was going to go out to dinner for Thanksgiving, so I told my mom we wouldn't be over for dinner, but would come over for dessert later on.  I know she was bummed, but okay with it.

    DH now doesn't want to go out to dinner, he wants me to cook.  Fine, I don't mind, but now we have 3 dinners going on - 1)out, 2) mom's 3) my house.

    It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

  • I need a break- from everything...

    John has to go to Binghamton for a committment- he's going to miss school on friday- my dad was supposed to pick him up but he's having car issues- he can take the bus on thursday night but I might have to get him on sunday...

    There just aren't enough hours in the day and things I really care about (making enzo's food- trying to take him out and keep him on a schedule) has really gone to pot and it makes me upset...

    and I'm so angry with my dad and stepmonster....I cant even articulate it...

  • Just got out of a meeting with some school admin. Went great, but nothing like getting hit on by dean of students openly in the meeting to the point that someone intervenes to "save" me.

    And it's rainy and I didn't sleep since we had tornado watches/warnings all night. 

  • My computer is still restarting over and over.  Beth's DH was happy to give me some advice on how to fix it but it didn't work.  I've emailed a number of people at work that do side jobs on computers but no one has gotten back to me.  I'm about to flip through the yellow pages and get someone to help me because I'm at wit's end.  I have been using my phone to email and FB but my battery lasts about 2 seconds on it.  I seriously charged it up all last night and it's already almost dead and I only was on it for 5 minutes today.  I can only nest at work and it's really taking a toll on me.  I need to get work done from that laptop and it's been almost a week and I still can't get it to stay on.
  • I feel like I work with some 2 year olds sometime. Why can't people just play nice?

  • The kids here at school are just off this week. I had to send a kid out yesterday that I love, but his attitude had gotten on my last nerve.

    One of the teachers here sent a girl to the office because her skirt was TOO short.  I saw it and agreed as did other teachers.  The principal sent her back saying she just needed to pull it down.  The girl couldn't possibly pull it down any more or she would be showing her stomach.  When the girl sat down she was pulling her skirt down, clearly uncomfortable.  We just had a conference YESTERDAY about consistency.  Seriously - you don't undermine the authority of a teacher in front of a student - even if you don't agree with the teacher.  I completely agree with the teacher and even if I didn't, I would have made the girl change and then talked to the teacher.  Obviously yesterdays speaker went in one ear and out the other with the principal - the ONE person that needs to hear what the speaker had to say the MOST out of any of us!

  • I feel like I'm in a mixed up place. I never know what is up or down. I feel like I'm in a life limbo and do not like it at all. I wish I had more answers but sadly I don't. Hopefully something will clear the way and help me figure out what to do next.

  • A few ppl I work with are very negative and they vent to me often. It doesn't bother me THAT much, but they do it in front of my student teacher. She is still optimistic and I think she should stay that way! When teachers give up on kids, they are ineffective in my opinion.

  • All I do is work!  Baaa!  I'm scared that when we have kids I won't have time to be a mom.  Last week I had bronchitis and tried to take a sick day, and ended up working ALL day from home in bed.  I just need a break for goodness sake!

    Talk to those teachers.  Just tell them that if you want to talk/vent about something, do it privately and not in front of your student teacher.  I completely agree with you - teachers that are enthusiastic and fun are the most effective IMO and those that have negative attitudes towards kids have no effect over them.
