Enough of this week. Enough.
Was something in the water? Is my sense of reality skewed because I've been dealing with this cold for about two weeks longer than I had hoped? Did the kids all get together and make some kind of crazy pact?
I wonder if this is just part of the cycle of the normal school year, but I don't remember everyone going out of their heads last February. Maybe it's the unseasonably warm and dry weather we're having. Maybe Californians all needed to get a bit wet to stay closer to normal. Who knows. I know that May is a crazy month in education. I know that by May I'll have no patience for most humans and I'll be wondering why I ever signed up for this job. But February? Is that when we all drive each other nuts?
I don't have the energy for this.
This is a week when I wish I could vent a little bit more specifically, but suffice it to say that there have been a host of new and mind-opening situations in my classroom. Scheez. Let's all take a chill pill.
(Did you see Andy hand Dwight an imaginary chill pill last night on The Office? I'm so gonna steal that.)
I don't know. I feel like everyone needs a time out. Myself included. I find myself not wanting to talk to people right now because I'm afraid I'm going to get mean and create problems that don't need creating. I even ran a little bit this week which feels like a mega-victory in light of the fact that I could barely take in oxygen.
I think tomorrow (even though I'm going to try like heck to fight it, I already know) I need to make myself get out and run (or even walk) for an hour or two. I need to clear my head, to wash away all the ick of this week.
