I know, I know, I've been ignoring my blog & I do feel awful about it. I've been meaning to get on here in the last couple of weeks since I've made a crapload of cards but I'll post those later. My life has proven to be a full blown roller coaster ride this month. Between changes at work & home, I keep getting hit with highs & lows daily.
Let's start with our new addition to our home:
Meet Fifi, our 5 month old French Bulldog. Yep, we got the dog of our (my? lol) dreams & shes' super cute. Hard work & exhausting, but super cute. She's been with us for a little over a week now & she's already crate trained & learned how to sit on command. I'm in love. Except the waking up 45 minutes earlier to let her out.
Moving onto how much fat ass Chris Christie (the new governor of NJ) can rot in hell. I got laid off. 4 months before being tenured, I received a pink slip.If you're thinking, WTF, believe me, so am I. All non-tenured teachers in our district were laid off. The shittiest part of it all is that they are laying off the WRONG people. I can't speak for all schools, but 95% of the veteran teachers at my school suck. They don't care about the children, they don't teach, they don't try, they just plain SUCK. But they are still getting paid. It's sickening. People who work their asses off & actually teach children get the boot. My principal told me there is a big chance of getting rehired but at this point, I don't know how I feel about it. I'm going through a cycle of panic, anger, whateverness, & a desire to switch careers daily. Augh.
There are 27 days left of school. I am NOT working summer school this summer & I can't wait to just do NOTHING. I'm looking forward to lazy days of reading, playing with Fifi, & laying out in our backyard. This high-stress year has burned me out & I feel stretched thin. 2 months off will be perfect. (I'm hoping it's just 2 months off, lmao).
Well that's that for the update. I will post those awesome cards I made when I get home. And I promise I'll keep blogging :)
