I feel like such a huge failure...
I posted a few weeks ago about how I really needed to quit one of my jobs. I was teaching, tutoring 10 hours a week, working at our district's After School site, going through my residency, and working part-time at the Y.
Today I finally broke down and quit tutoring. I feel really bad but it was just something I had to do. I felt like I was not giving it my all and it was really taking away from my teaching responsibilities, in the long run.
I hate admitting that I can't do it all and I feel really bad. Ugh.
Sorry, I'm whining today. 
Orange Mocha Frappacinos for everyone - and $100 if you know what movie that is from. 
Re: I feel like such a huge failure...
I'm so sorry you feel that you're a failure but you ARE NOT! It sounds like you were stretching yourself too thin and this is probably best for you mentally as well as your career. ::HUGS::
ZOOOOOOOOOLANDER!
You are SO not a failure! I cannot imagine doing half of what you're doing and it's ok to admit that you can't do it all. Remember "what you can do it enough." -- that's a favorite motto of mine
This! You are not a failure.
I
Zoolander. You made me LOL.
I know it feels that way. But I admire you for being able to set that limit and take care of yourself. You'll feel better in the long run.
This! Except I didn't know the Zoolander part.
Instead of feeling like a failure, you should feel PROUD of yourself for having the guts to make a tough decision, one that really is the best for you. Good job!
Thanks for the pep talk, ladies. I really needed it.
I think I just felt like I was letting down the students/teachers/principal I work with. I'm sure I will feel better next week when I have 10 extra hours a week to breathe.
Seems like I owe several hundred dollars to the board now. I'm so glad I have some Zoolander geeks in here. I hope you all had "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
