It has been a rough couple of weeks at work. I have never been happy working, but since having Anderson, EVERYTHING and I do mean everything has changed. Last week, I called a student a "little jerk" because he was being insenitive about the upcoming election and students of colors feelings. Then today, I jumped all over another just because he sat in the nurse's office all period long. Which still pisses me off when I think about it...;)
What I mean to say is that you hear folks talk about burn out and I think I am slowly nearing that point in my career. When I just want to scream "I can't take it anymore"!!! Yes, it's hard to be a teacher, but I could be much better, I feel as if I'm slipping on doing a good job.
My thoughts drift to Anderson and what he's doing and I really just go to work at 7:45 and leave at 3:30 and that's all the thought I give to it. Sorry...I'm ranting!
It WILL all work out, I know it will!
On a more uplifting note, we are trying to get Anderson to sit up and he refuses. We have sat him up in bumbo, on the couch, support him and he just wants to recline and laughs when he arches his back in sweet defiance! He will sit up in due time, I've quit obsessing about it.
We are headed to Dothan this weekend (whew, I just get tired thinking about it) for the Peanut Festival, Anderson's first trip. I will post pics soon!
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

I hope things get better. Think about all he is learning at daycare and the friends he is making. Nicholas has been with 2 of his friends since 3 months of age. Hope you have fun in Dothan. Are you going to be Dothan for Thanksgiving?
I mostly stalk your blog but I'll try to do better about posting. My computer has a virus so I haven't had much time this week. Can't wait to see pics from the fair! Eat some roasted corn for me!
I love reading about cutie Anderson! I know what you mean though....I feel the same way about mine sometimes. Oh well, I think I am going to print each blog off and create a notebook so that when Ella Katherine gets bigger she can see what she was doing as a toddler.
