I'm all funky.

Grrr.

I'm all funky and shit. School starts tomorrow and I have a combo and I feel like I have no idea what to do. I know that I'll eventually figure it out and do a great job, but right now, tonight, I have no fucking clue. When my principal assigned me the combo at the end of last year (because it was my turn), she said "Martha, I know they'll learn with you." And she said it like it was a relief to her that it would be me doing the job. At least I have that. And, I may switch from a 4/5 to a 5/6. Which would mean that I'd have to learn two brand new sets of state standards.

Plus, I really, really, really miss Steve this year. His school has only been in session for three weeks, he's been home already once, and he's coming home again this weekend, but I still miss him an incredible amount. It was so much harder last year than I thought it would be, and now this year is exponentially harder. I don't want to tell him about it because I don't want to make his road harder. He's not only away from me, he's away from his home. This year is going so much better from him at school, so I want to keep him happy when he's away. That's lame of me because we really are two halves of one person, and I know he'll make me feel better. But I still worry about his state of mind. So I don't want to tell him that I'm all funky and shit.

I never like to complain and get all funky, but it's tough tonight.

Thanks for listening.

If it wasn't a school night, I'd be right over with baked goods and shoulder to cry on.

Well, a little sleep, a phone call from my baby and a successful first day have made me a feel a little better. I did some planning for next week, and now that I've met the kids, I have some good ideas for this. Plus, my kids' test scores from last year absolutely kicked ass, so my confidence in my teaching is coming back. And, lots of parents were very pleased that their children were placed in my room. That always helps.

You guys all helped a lot, too. Thanks.
