overloaded

Well, my next class has started and so my works begins. I am starting to feel overloaded and that there are not enough hours in the day to finish my work. I am looking forward to spring break next week so I won't be working as many hours and maybe I can get A LOT done...that's the plan anyways but we all know how well plans work sometimes. I don't think the work would be so bad if there weren't so many chapters to read and if the text wasn't so boring. I am having a hard time reading the book and then understanding what I read well enough to answer the questions. I have the night off and I really should get some done...but all I want to do is go take a nap!

Life

I know it has been a while since I have blogged and for that I am sorry. Life has been crazy lately and very busy. Between working 2 jobs, going to Florida, fostering dogs and being in school I'm lucky lately to be at the right place at the right time. I have been getting quite a few subbing days in, which is good, but last week I was asked to be a long term sub as an aide. This is a new position for me and I have mixed feelings but I'm excited to be at the same place day to day, and also to know I am working the next day.

I did sub some last week in a second grade classroom and I have something new to share. We were reading an article about global warming and the Arctic melting. We talked about the Arctic being the North Pole. I asked "what will happen if this continues and the Arctic melts?" All the students said " then Santa won't have a place to live!" I thought this was so cute and definitely in the minds of 8 year olds, this is truth!
