I have all these thoughts in my head and no time to get them out (AND sleep and get all my work done), so it leaves me feeling creatively constipated, if that makes any sense. Oh, yes, a million times yes -- I truly lucked out the day I crossed paths with Bryce. He's a sweetie!

Managed to complete all but one of my IEPs today on a day off thanks to the wind storm that blew my area apart yesterday, thanks to Bryce's office because our internet was out until an hour or two ago. I will try to rock it to death and then enjoy the bejeezus out of April break and Summer!

It does feel so early because a lot can happen between now and June, but we have to discuss programs for next year and transition to the 9th grade building and so all the moving parts whirr early. I also usually sign to for the earlier dates because I never know when/if I'm going out on maternity leave, so if just as soon get it all done myself than risk leaving it to someone who doesn't know my kids. However I've been operating this way for so many years it is getting hard to plan to not be there and STILL BE THERE. But, that's just how this cookie crumbles!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-65121399288092285602017-03-09T05:41:46.169-08:002017-03-09T05:41:46.169-08:00I know that too much to do feeling!

But offsite forms first and behaviour support plan updates first hahaha. Wondering though: why do you write next years plans so early? I can't predict next month.....I would have no idea how to write a plan for next year!

A break every now and again is good, especially if swamped with work in another area of your life. Teaching in special education takes a ton of organization and work. Honestly, the daunting mountain of paperwork involved with IEP's are what deterred me most from considering teaching special education. Kudos to you and others who chose your teaching field!

Reminds me, I used to have a mixed tape called, "FTW" (nope, not, "for the win" - the second two words are, "the world" *grin*).

March has been crap; everything is crap. I hate my job, my boss is a sociopath; I hate the weather (non-stop rain for two weeks); I hate my tiny house on its noisy road; I've got major writer's block on the blog; I'm having awful extended family woes; I can't stay asleep for more than 2-3 hours. I having one of those run-down misery fests that I hope will just wear off soon. Anyway you sound genuinely busy not just self-indulgently miserable like me. Good luck with it all and this too shall pass, as they say.
