Life happens!
It sure has been a chaotic mess with my job and family lately, so therefore my poor blog was put on the back burner! It all started back in September. As I have mentioned before I am a Special Needs teacher for the High School where I live. There were 3 teachers that started out at the beginning of the school year and by week #4 one of them was put on administrative leave. That teacher is still not back so the other Special Needs teacher and I had to take on several more students and split the case load. For those of you who are not familiar with Special Education each student has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). Preparing for these meetings and making sure everything in the IEP is being met for each student takes a lot of time and paper work. I went into the education world to be a kindergarten teacher and ended up teaching Special Education. I have been teaching it for 5 years and I have to say this has by far been the hardest year! I come home crying almost everyday! I truly am having the toughest year and it has made me wonder why I continue to put my self and my family through this emotional roller coaster that I have been on. Don't get me wrong I love parental support and teaching, but it is all the other drama that has piled up this year. I have a few parents that are horrible to deal with and have threaten law suits and all sorts of things. I am emotionally and physically exhausted! There is a Kindergarten position coming available next year and I am hoping to get it, to be able to be where my heart is. It is going to be hard because they don't want to let me out of special Education, but if they don't I am afraid i will have to find another job!
On top of my job not going well, I have had one sick baby! He started getting ear infections back in September and we could never get them to fully clear up. So on Dec. 28 he had tubes put in his ears. I thought this would be so much better, but then he ended up with respiratory pneumonia! Once we got that under control one of his ears got infected and he had to be put on antibiotics again. Then my 2 1/2 daughter got sick with tonsillitis! It has just been crazy in my life. I also am the Young Women's president in my church and that takes several hours of my time as well. So even through this crazy time in my life I have found my stress relief to be creating new projects and decorating with them. I haven't stopped crafting, I just haven't had time to put them on my blog. So hopefully now the kids are done being sick and I can find some time to continue this blog. Thanks you to all my faithful followers for understanding and sticking by me!
