New Post

I haven't posted in a really long time. I've wanted to a couple of times. But then I didn't. I always think of things I want to blog when I'm in the car and then by the time I get home it's gone. Sigh.

Well, the school year is almost over, and I have to say, tonight I was feeling so deliriously exhausted I actually thought, maybe I'll quit teaching. Sometimes I just feel so empty. I know I'm doing the Lord's work and all, but sometimes...I dunno...but I think maybe it was just the exhaustion talking. I'm sure I'll recharge over the summer and everything will be fine. I hope...just a few more days...

But of course, in typical Alice fashion, I have signed up for a summer math committee, and the math academy, which many of you know by its pet name--math camp. And then I've also gone and signed myself up to pilot using a Promethean board in my classroom next year, and also committed to making movies with my kids and entering a student video contest. I think I must be on drugs. I seriously need some sort of intervention. Is there a pill I can take to make me stop this destructive behavior??? Although really there is a simple explanation for why I signed up for those. Whenever people are giving stuff away (Promethean board and slate, video camera equipment) I have to have it. If I wait around for my school to be able to afford to get those things for me I'll never get it. So if there's some organization that wants to give me free stuff as long as I follow their requirements for a year of soul-crushing work, then so be it. I'm gonna get all kinds of cool stuff for my classroom...yessss...

Ok, time to go to bed. Goodbye...
