so many emotions

Even though it was a "short" one it has been one of "those" weeks! My goodness!! After having to call a parent about their child's harsh words said on the playground {worst phone calls to make} I head to our faculty meeting that lasted an hour and a half.  Of course, not much wonderful news was brought to us, instead sad news about the state of sexual activity going on amongst the 4th and 5th graders.  Yes, you read that right! It's just shocking.  I mean, jaw dropped to the floor, speechless kind of shocking! Maybe I'm naive to think that 9-11 year olds wouldn't know {to that extent} about sexual activity, but I was literally in shock! Very sneaky fellas.  Our school is a VERY old, historic school with lots of "hiding" places.  Apparently the students have found those places.  Not a very fun way to spend the end of a long and stressful day.

Next.... is anyone else feeling like there's just SO much to do?!  Every year during the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas break I always feel so overwhelmed, like I have so much that I want to squeeeeeze in, that I stress myself out trying to get all the fun in.  Then I get to the end of January, beginning week of February and am reminded that THIS is the time for ALL the 'cramming' to begin.  I mean our 100th Day is on the 31st, Groundhog Day the 2nd {absolutely favorite theme...not sure why}, wrapping up our Penguins and Snowmen units, beginning our inventors unit after that, and then, of course, don't forget Valentine's Day! I love each and every one of these themes! I just wish there was more time in the day to get it all that I want to get in! I mean I have 'pinned' so many fabulous ideas that I just want to DO THEM ALL! :)

And Finally, can we talk about my reality show obsessions?!  I mean between Real Housewives, The Bachelor, Teen Mom 2, and Jersey Shore there's just so much going on and my DVR is filling up quick! My sweet hubbers asked me the other day why I watch all this "filth" {not my choice word..hehe} I think it's just my way of not dealing with the stress of my own life sometimes.  Not that I don't deal with them, but sometimes I just like to not have to think! Does that make sense?  Do you feel that way sometimes?  Well, my new favorite thing to do is see what Kristin over at A Teeny Tiny Teacher has to say about these shows (we watch the same line up) every Wednesday.  9 times out of 10 she's RIGHT on target! :) 

I am now going to head on to the kitchen, pour myself a small glass of red, and grade some papers while catching up on Suburgatory and Modern Family! :)

Happy ALMOST Friday!!!!  So ready for my sun shiny weekend!

Will have an update with fun stuff to share this weekend....promise.
