My Life as a 20 something Teacher

Hi all

I have not bloggedfor ages. I feel bad about this but not too bad. Thing is, should have written an entry last week but was playing Internet poker. Sometimes this is really fun but i only really do it cause im lonely and me and my hubby are too tired to do anything interesting. I have had a wierd day today. Had a discussion with a deputy head about a trip, it was not my fault but had gone all wrong. I also had a really bad stress about my time table next year. I had four classes shared with other teachers and it so stressed me out. I really had to fight to get what i wanted but I was glad in the end. Why do we always have to fight for stuff in life! Everone is always out for themselves! I'm really really sad now cause i was suppoosed to be going out with my hubby to meet friends for drinks but i have a bug and can't go. Am all on my own except for my cat who is sleeping next to the computer with me. Do you like him? You know what all these things that stress me out one day will be gone tommorrow. I just dont cope too well!!

A good friday. I feel friday is my blogging day. I am so tired and my house is so untidy. I can't be bothered to tidy up as My hubby is out and will come back drunk after an all day jolly up. Dont mind about that but am a bit bored... bored with plenty to do. i could clean the kitchen, clean the hall, clean the front room but i do't really feel like it. My mum just called dso i may pop round to see her and then go for a swim. School was ok today. I'm trying to do coursework with my classes at the moment and they need so much help. We had a parents evening yesterday and its wierd how the parents dont want trouble at home for not doing homework. They just want you to sort it it out at school. The funny thing is they dont realise that it NEEDs to come from both ends.

gonna see my mum!!!

Last week was not fun as predicted by my fellow bloggers. I feel very hard done by at the moment as many other teachers have got lots of time off. The problem with me is i always do everything properly and don't find it easy to cut corners. I wish I could be different some times. Today was an excellent day however. I have had a nightmare with a student teacher during the past few weeks who couldnt teach very well and has now gone. They would not listen to improvements and the pupils hated them. Now they have gone life will be much smoother. How can one person demand so much of your attention? I never got a personal thank you. Some people are just take take take. There was a feeling of relief amoungst my pupils today as they would never have to have them teaching them again. Funny because I think they hated me before. Better the devil you know than the devil you dont.

going to mow my lawn tonight!!

Helloooooooooo

Well its all worth it today. I bet loads of people are writing fantastic blogs today. The weekend weather has been brilliant and I have been sunbathing outside all the time. I have got a little tan but i bet everyone at work says I am still white. Me and my husband cooked dinner for my brother and dad. We ate it in the Garden. Friday seems a long time ago and not so bad. Its wierd, work overcome you sometimes and you can't get it out of your mind. It seems so important but when you are not there for a while you can put it into perspective. I dont mind going back when I have had a good time!!

I thought this would be a good idea to express myself. I am a teacher and I am in my late 20's. I have been teaching since i left university. It can be the most wonderful job but also the worst when you've had a bad day. I have the most wonderful husband who I met a University, we are like soul mates and I would really like kids. Sometimes I feel like I am on a treadmill and can't leave it. I work long hours and enjoy what I do. I am nearly always thinking about work and am beginning to think that it is too much. Anyway. This is my first Blog and I have had a bad day. I have tried my best but heh sometimes ur best aint good enough!!!!
