An Attitude of Gratitude #4
Tonight has been a very long, tedious night. I am preparing to have a sub tomorrow, which I just dread each time. I would much rather be in my classroom sick than to have to plan for a sub to be in my room. It is just so much work to get things ready and then find a way to explain to a stranger what my kids and I have been working on. It is just easier to be in the room and make decisions on the fly as needed. To make matters worse, I will be gone two days, not just one. I have a PD day with my language arts coworkers and then will finally get into the doctor for an appointment that has been rescheduled twice. Tonight I worked after school until 8 o'clock trying to get caught up with grading and planning in order for someone to come. I also needed to clean off my desk...what a job! My gratitude in all of this is that I have a job. I don't have to worry about the hunt and the rejection that many are experiencing daily. I enjoy...
