Yeah, I'm having one of those days. I'm not really one to complain but I gotta get this all out somewhere (aren't you lucky!):
I was observed by my Lab class teacher this morning. She came in and watched me stumble around with the kids for an hour. I've been steadily improving with the kids in the past couple weeks but this morning I was overwhelmed with performance anxiety while my instructor was there and the kids were especially wild today...I'm sure I did terrible. RAWR.
The classroom was short one teacher today. That plus the kids being especially wild made for an eventful morning. I was glad to be leaving at noon. But after I had done all of my tasks (without being asked) and spent time with the kids for three hours, I grabbed my purse and was headed out the door at my scheduled time. That's when the lead teacher said, "Oh I thought you left at one." I reminded her that I leave at noon every time I'm there. She said, "Oh and there's no possible way that you could stay longer today?" RAWR! I told her not to day and lied that I had an appointment in a half an hour. If she had indicated to me just how short-handed they were and asked me to stay later earlier in the morning, I would have been more than happy to do so. But to try and guilt me into staying longer as I'm headed out the door at my regularly scheduled time doesn't fly well with me. Yeah, sure, you could say I should've just offered to stay earlier in the morning but it's not my responsibility. The director wasn't there today either so that complicated things even more. Ugh. Anyway, that just rubbed me the wrong way as I left.
I get out to my car and what do I find? A parking ticket. Of course. See, this all really started yesterday afternoon when I was rushing to inhale my PBJ sandwich and get out of the house to make it to my therapy appointment on time. My car battery was dead. D-E-A-D. I couldn't find a neighbor to help me jumpstart it so I had to cancel my appointment. Then I called Honey to come home early so I could get a ride from him/borrow his car to go to school last night. Which he did, and I did, and all was well. I took his car to school again this morning and got a ticket because I didn't have a permit on that car. Grrrr.
It took all the deep breathing I could muster to get home in one piece without being arrested for Road Rage!
I slept like shit last night, my SIL's boyfriend's father just passed away unexpectedly (this affects me probably more than it should -- I can't figure it out), another friend's dog of 14 years had to be put to sleep last night, and my Honey is out of town tonight. I am just not a happy camper today.
I'm ready for tomorrow already.
Enough bitching...I'm going to go practice my chords on the guitar (I'm totally getting better - aka "rocking out on my chords!") then plop my booty in the recliner where it's for the rest of the evening. Harumph!|||110971847720421104|||FFWD to tomorrow
