Stressed and Frustrated!

School started back this week and I was pretty excited until I saw how many kids showed up for school. I have 12 kids in my class. Now, I am sure most teachers think that would be a dream but IPS will not let me keep a class that small. We had almost 100 kids not show up to school. We have 8 classes with less then 15 kids which means our school will have to loose teachers. I am 3rd from the bottom and we will probably loose 3 teachers. That means I will have to pack all my stuff back up (that I just unpacked 3 weeks ago) and move to a new school. I have no idea when I could get moved or where I could get moved too. I just really hope I get placed in the intermediate grades. I don't want to teach the babies. They are cute, but I really like the older kids. And I have no resources for the little ones. So here I am getting this class of 12 used to all my rules and procedures, only to know that they will have to be moved to another class and I will have to start all over with another group of kids. I am stressed and really upset about it.

Being back to school has also been hard on me physically. I have not worked for 10 weeks, now I am on my feet all day again. Being pregnant is hard when working! My whole body hurts and I am exhausted! I can hardly stay awake past 8:00. I am 15 weeks now! Just 4 more weeks and we will know if baby W is a boy or girl! I can't wait!

Please keep your fingers crossed things will work out for me in the next few weeks. I should not be this stressed and worried while pregnant!

Also, my sister had her baby! Little Ryley was born 8-14-10! He is so cute! Congrats to her!
