Totally stuck...

I have to admit that this week I am totally uninspired. I think I am in a rut. A cranky, tired, sore nose, sneezing rut.

I have so much but so little to say this week and as much as I don’t really have a deadline to  my writing my new dedication of an article a week for my blog is totally out the window only two weeks in. EPIC FAIL.

So this weekend was much better than the last one – no meltdown in the street with shop owners checking the security out the front of their premises, so that was a win. Visit to kmart happened – so that was a win. Built a chair from kmart and only had one screw left over so that really was a big win.

Found myself out to dinner and the movies on Saturday night – so again feel like I am winning. Dinner was great, good company and I have to say I definitely don’t think that Bad Moms 2 deserves the bad reviews because I thought it was hilarious.  I thoroughly enjoyed my night out. Except for a random voice message from my mum but that really is a long story or potential blog post.

Lunch on Sunday was great and watched my son play indoor soccer. Feeling like a broken record of good, great, winning.

So why the rut?

Thinking it might be school stress but sometimes I think that is cope out- an easy way to explain the feelings of grey. I really do think I am getting sick, but that again is an easy out.

I have noises in my head the last few days and it’s getting to be an overwhelming feeling of grey – I like that – just grey, no colours.

So I will end this here – I am trying to lift the game this week. Especially as my little ASDer is on fire – he really and truly is doing great! So I’m hoping to jump up and meet him there.


If you are still with me  - let me know what colours are popping for you this week!

Truth?

Image
 Today I had an interesting thought - why are teachers expected to be emotional punching bags? I had a student tell me that he was only telling the truth. His way of justifying his rude behaviour. I told him that his opinion was neither asked for nor warranted. He argued that truth telling was the right way to be. I told him I doubt it as I would receive phone calls from parents if I spoke my truth.  What type of people are we raising that believe that they can hurt and frustrate and impose their opinions in the name of truth? How is that truthful?

Breakfast and a show...

I now know that the problem was that I said it out loud. I said it to my friends. I said it to my husband, I even said it to his teacher. I now know better. Never say it out loud.   "He's having a really good week."   And he really had been. My little ASDer had been happy, cheerful and compliant. Excited to go to school and doing extra homework he was ever a delight.    Saturday came and under the illusion of this wonderful behaviour, I didn't hesitat e to take my child to a boxing class at the beach. He was great! This streak was continuing so off to breakfast I suggested to a friend.    Fate and luck had run out.    He chose the wrong food.    He didn't like the toys that were there.   He was bored.    So after his chocolate milkshake was consumed and he ate the discovered gingerbread that marginally saved breakfast- it was time to go. Suddenly instead of being the rational human he u...

Where does time go...

I was thinking lately how the excuse that we give ourselves and others when we don't' attend to something regularly is that time just flies, we are busy and snap it's been a year.  I often found it curious to live in a teacher cycle where we have 10-week rotations followed by a 2 week break then repeat 4 times a year. We then have a weird count down system where we look at 1-5 as wow so much of the term left the 6-10 as a holy crap where did time go mentality.  Funnily enough, I neither like or dislike this cycle but just try to live in the present, in that moment of each week. However, deadline drive needs can make this a challenge.  So rather than then give excuses for my year long absence or stress that recommitting myself to a guarantee writing time, article drop, I am merely going to say...  Hello. Hello. Hello. I was really lucky this week to attend a PD on education research that was aimed at inspiring teachers, on the ground to be the thinking, plan...
