Hey guys. It has been a crazy week going back to school. One son starting high school the other starting middle school. I have not been sleeping well because my mind won't shut off.
I went back to work Tuesday. I had a lot of anxiety because my admin is so toxic. However, the first day of classes made me feel so loved by my students. A lot of my students from last year went out of their way to find my new room to give me a hug. A teacher who is in my old room has some of my former students and they gave her an attitude for "taking Mrs. Antinoro's room". She told them I chose to move, which I did. They asked me too when they found me, lol. Too cute. I really like my new students. They seem sweet and happy to be there too. Admin still toxic, but I am focusing on my students. What I love about the location of my room is I am in the far corner of the building, away from the main office. There is a bathroom and faculty lounge and copier in my wing. I never have to go far, lol. I never have to go to the main office, haha!
I have been keeping up with my runs and Crossfit. Today I had 8 miles scheduled. I didn't feel like doing it, but I did it. I finished in the dark, but got all 8 miles done. Now I feel good. Tomorrow I get a paycheck! Cannot wait to have some $$$$.
Belinda- The September rotation looks good. You called it on your MIL that she would get better. 8 years of this must be tiring.
Deb- Happy belated birthday. Deciding about the next steps for an elderly parent is stressful and brings out so many emotions and feelings. My sister and brother were mad at my dad when he decided he couldn't take care of my mom anymore. Meanwhile, they never offered to help. . . they just didn't want her in a home. I wanted my dad to be healthy and happy and I supported him in his decision. I was the only one who helped him while she was still living with him. The other two were always "busy." Anyway, I hope cooler heads prevail and you can come to an agreement.
BBL,
Kristin
