I Need A Run

Who thought that I would ever be saying that?  Not me!

I got an email this afternoon stating that a parent will be contacting me to observe my classroom to decide if it is the right fit for her daughter who is currently in another special education program at another school.

Okay, so I have 12 kids right now.  About 4-5 too many for my Autism program. Adding another student right now is silly, there are only 15 more days of school left.  Even waiting until next school year would only increase my class size from an expected 13 to 14! It is too many kids and not enough support. It is just pure ridiculousness!

While I was enjoying my rest day, I am now wishing that I could go out for a run and push through the impending stress of yet another new student (5th new students since winter break, 6th this school year).  I will honor my rest day, and keep it holy.

Plus, I already took of my KT Tape and will tape up again tomorrow morning after my run if I need to.  I probably should wake up extra early so that I can go even farther and longer and push through this work stress.  Later this week, and interview to teach summer school with my own district for five hours a day for ten days.

Time for my other stress relief--starting a new book from the library!
