Hell week...

yep. I said it.
Let me take you back a bit.
About two weeks ago, I wrote about how I would be a new 5th grade teacher and such. Well, last week (when I was a 4th grade teacher) my Grandmother passed away suddenly. I found out that she wasn't going to make it Wednesday afternoon and it was decided (by people wiser than me) that I would be leaving early on Thursday to go be with my family. Thursday was also the day everyone was telling their kids that they are moving. 5th grade teachers had to say goodbye to those who were coming into my class, Kat had to say goodbye to he entire 5th grade class, and my poor babies had to say goodbye to me and each other. I wasn't there when they heard the news... I didn't want to traumatize them with, what would have been, uncontrollable sobs. So when I left at 2, my principal broke the news to them.
How did they take it? Let's just say it was rough and everyone agreed that it was a good thing I was not there.
So, I would write about all the happenings around Grandmother's funeral... but I won't. I miss her terribly. It was good to see my family and some friends.
I was blessed to be allowed to have a workday on Tuesday... which was good because I walked into my room that morning and my air conditioner didn't work. Fabulous!
Wednesday was like an entire day of de ja vu. I kept feeling like I had gone back in time. I've already taught these kids... but now they are bigger and louder! It was strange.
Thursday was rough. I didn't cry, but I came close a few times.
Friday was much better. The kids were better behaved and I think it all has to do with starting my day off with a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks!! (It's the little things that make life exciting!!) I just have this scary feeling like it's my first year teaching all over again. I'm just treading water and not really swimming anywhere. That cannot happen this year!
Anyway.
I got an email this morning tellimg me that my cousin Rebecca has gone back into the hospital because her stent has dislodged. She is in pain... again.... and I've about had it. I know God is good and that His will is perfect. But seriously? Can they PLEASE have a BREAK!?! Let them have SOMETHING good happen!!!
Prayers.
