Sooooooooooooooo Tired

Today is the second day back from break and I am absolutely exhausted. I got two new students in my classroom on Monday--twins who happen to be the principal's grandchildren. They are lovely girls and many of my students are familiar with them as they were at our school a few years back. However, their added present has made our room seem filled to the brim. Our room is sweltering hot and there is very little space at present. In addition to trying to settle down 17 post-break students, I am trying to introduce the rules and procedures of our classroom to the new girls. It is really tiring.

In addition to this, my obligation to the after school program is not quite up. I knew that I had some sessions left on my contract, but I certainly did not plan on roughly 15 more! I honestly think that is more than we have thus far. I don't know how I am going to last. It is just so difficult to be at the school for 11 hours straight, knowing you are going to back an hour later. Plus, Crazy M is back in the program...and as crazy as ever. However, I have developed a check-out system for all of my students so I hopefully will not lose anyone else.

Today one of my student's parents was going to be bit late--40 minutes. As I sat there on the floor beside her, tears of exhaustaion streamed down my face. I decided for the millionth time that this was a difficult job.


But I know God is with me and it is just my flesh protesting. I am trying to be more obedient and seek God regardless of what I feel like.

P.S. The afterschool director said that she did not accept my resignation. What does that even mean?
