Change......

I can't wait to get up in the AM and get ready for work.  I have a meeting in the city.  Mind you,  I work 5 minutes away.....I am right by the bridge (Queensborough Bridge).  Yet....I find that I am getting all crazed!!!  I might need to get  my city "fix". I don't get in as often as I would like to (during the daylight hours).  Evening visits to the city are more common.  Was just there last weekend.

I think I am feeling this way because there is just that sense of the hustle and bustle it's a breath of freah air.  NO....not literally!!! But I just love the feeling of being in one the biggest cities and being my own unique person.

I LOVE NY!!!!

Not Myself

I have not been feeling well for the past few days. I have been stressed and tired and I believe it has taken a toll on my well-being. Well, last night I had a fever. I woke up this morning, took a shower, and was planning to go to work. As I was about to blow dry my hair....I felt the weakness in my legs and that was it. I called in sick. I hate doing that. I had no choice there was no way I could function, now tomorrow is another story. I have to be well enough to go to work! I hate missing days at work, it throws everything out of wack. I hate feeling the way that I do even more. I want to be full of energy and not have aches and pains. :(
Anyway, I just needed to vent a little. Talk to you all when I am my cheery self again. Xoxo

For All the Teacher Haters!!!

OMG!!!! I can't express the anger.......

We TEACHERS are according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary:

Main Entry: teach·er

Pronunciation: \ˈtē-chər\
Function: noun
Date: 14th century
one that teaches; especially : one whose occupation is to instruct

Yes....we are instructors. The dictionary does not state all the details.

My definition for TEACHERS:

1. One who instructs

2. A person with much compassion

3. One who will go above and beyond to help their students

4. One who not only works from 8-3, but lugs books and plans at home till the weeeee hours. So that means the teachers work day doesn't end at 3.

5. One that has to be able to control 30 kids in a class and make sure that they are all on task. I'd like to see the average person try to do that. Oh! Actually I have, and MOST can't!!

6. Oh!! this one is great!! One who must have an extremely great BLADDER, we cannot get up and go to the restroom when needed!! The worst is when your stomach acts up......let's not even go there!

7. Their job to teach the students everything they'll need to know in life (both academic and life lessons) a.k.a second parent.

8. Goodness, I can go on and on, but really think about it people, think of the things that teachers do day in and day out.

The reason that I write this is that many forget that where they are today is because of a teacher. They teach us how to read write etc... So instead of being teacher HATERS, love us because you would not be reading this without having had a teacher.
