I tell myself I'm going to do this each week, and I don't. So, I'm writing the post now, on Saturday, and will try to schedule it to post on Wednesday.
*I did not post this last Wednesday, but I am this Wednesday!

I confess that I'm a lazy, lazy bum on weekends, and just don't want to do anything!
I confess that I have been obsessively counting calories on livestrong.com and have been doing very well! Also, it seems to be working. I know this because...
I confess that I weigh myself every morning on our wildly inaccurate bathroom scale. It's good to keep an eye on things!
I confess that I'm almost as excited for all the takeout that I get to eat over our Christmas vacation as I am about seeing family and friends....almost. Hey, I get to talk to family and friends and tell them I miss them. I do not get to talk to Chipotle and tell the burritos how much I miss them. That's normal, right?
I confess I am counting the days until Christmas Break (when you read this, there will be 9 (correction: 6!!!) school days)!!!!!
I confess I am hard on my students because I want them to succeed and start taking responsibility for themselves.
I confess that the above confession is making a lot more work for me and driving me to frustration and exhaustion on a daily basis. I'm starting to understand why some teacher run off worksheets and fill their days with that, but I won't, and I hope it's worth it.
I confess that I love when I have my room full of students getting help for their work, but some days, I need the room to myself during prep and I kick most out. Though that's very rare.
I confess that I just ate a bunch of homemade potato chips, and I want more. It's just baked potato slices and the dip is made with greek yogurt so there's no fat. Maybe I'll make more....(this is happening on Saturday).
Whew! I just kept thinking of stuff. All done!
I confess that I think you are probably a very well liked teacher.. I think that the ones that are your hardest students will be the ones that later the light bulb will go off in the head and then they will understand.
ReplyDeleteI confess I really wish I was up there to visit with you and your family.. I miss them and you..
I certainly hope so! I wish I was down there with you and your family! Why can't we all just live in one big...huge....house!?!?!
DeleteYou sound like a great teacher. Don't fall into the "worksheets" pitfall. I get so angry when they fill my daughter's day up with busy work.
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't want to fall into the 'worksheets' pitfall either! The kids have really started stepping up their game, so I'm feeling much better :) Thanks for the words of encouragement!!!
