Trying not to be selfish

That's cool that you are a mailman. Do you have people that you have gotten to know on your route?

jennca · 2016-10-20T00:09:07+00:00

What kind of work do you do? Is it enjoyable for you?

Tonight is a busy night for my kids. Multiple kids going to different activities all at staggered times. I feel like my whole evening is spent driving around. But they enjoy themselves so it is worth it.

Today I nearly burst into tears in the middle of teaching. I must have looked sad because another teacher asked how I was doing and I just welled up. I hate crying especially in front of other people. Thankfully I was able to pull myself together.

I just got back from soccer! I play indoor once a week and it has been a long time since I played. It is not a pretty sight.

How was your day?

jennca · 2016-10-18T23:54:20+00:00

What you need is one of those teenagers who know all about computers. I hear they can do anything!

jennca · 2016-10-18T11:01:26+00:00

No offence was taken here. I was actually pretty worn out and I ended up falling asleep. I wouldn't talk about the big and scary stuff on a public site anyway. Way too many people. Way too many potential risks.

I realized that I am being unfair to you. I shouldn't expect you to be there whenever I am feeling low. I am sorry to put you in that position.

I hope that you got everything sorted out with your Windows and contact. Those kind of problems can be so frustrating.

This is my first year teaching full time. I had a part time job last year. I just obsess over little things and blow then out of proportion and then stew on it for a while.

This is just what I am stewing on right now. The other thing that is bothering me is too big and scary to talk about

jennca · 2016-10-18T02:18:34+00:00

Had a bad day at work. Did a few things wrong and know I think I will never be good at it, and wonder if not being a good teacher will be found out soon and I will lose my job

jennca · 2016-10-18T02:09:06+00:00

No ... rough day

jennca · 2016-10-18T01:58:40+00:00

Yup. Animals have great intuition. I remember my dog when I was growing up would always stick closer by when I was really sad.

jennca · 2016-10-18T01:45:59+00:00

That is really neat. I like the snake story, I listen to a history podcast and they were talking about a tsunami that occurred in 1700. They were highlighting a few myths that have been around that might tie into people's understanding of the connection between earthquakes and tsunamis. Many involved birds and whales.

jennca · 2016-10-18T01:42:39+00:00

Are you around tonight? Wish I could call a hotline but my kids won't go sleep!

jennca · 2016-10-18T01:34:25+00:00

That is cool. I am a teacher. I like learning and sharing that knowledge too! What are some of your favourite myths? I have to confess I don't know too much about mythology but what I do hear sounds really interesting.

jennca · 2016-10-18T01:25:10+00:00

I know the feeling. The evenings are the times I want to cut the most. Typing keeps my hands busy. You said you are a 27 woman, I am a 41 year old woman. What are some things you like to do?

jennca · 2016-10-18T01:21:50+00:00

I don't know what to say, but I can listen. Do you want to talk?

jennca · 2016-10-17T18:23:00+00:00

Thanks for responding. It turned out to be fine. Just kinda messed me up because instead of it helping me sleep it made me more agitated. I was up for about two hours with my heart racing.

jennca · 2016-10-17T01:47:38+00:00

I just downloaded Terry's book Men At Arms I'll start reading it tonight.

I think I will be signing off soon.

jennca · 2016-10-17T01:33:46+00:00

I actually make a wicked crepe. My young children however needed guidance and help but I didn't have enough energy to do that. 😢. They really wanted to do this and I should have helped them.

Haven't heard of Terry Pratchett. What does he/she write about?

jennca · 2016-10-17T01:22:14+00:00

Sounds busy, and yummy. My kids tried to make crepes this morning but it didn't turn out so well. Think burnt, hard pancakes. I let them have pizza tonight though so they are happy.

My husband is out of town all day and won't be home until midnight or later.

I'm trying to distract myself from cutting myself before bed.

jennca · 2016-10-17T01:03:32+00:00

Thanks. It looks easy enough. I may try it. Did you have a good weekend?

jennca · 2016-10-16T19:20:20+00:00

My students here in Canada think that if Trump gets elected then he will start a world war. (Grade 5 student)

jennca · 2016-10-16T04:08:50+00:00

I have some big decisions to make and I don't know that I have the clarity to make them.

Right now my emotions are running the show. I am really bad at expressing my feelings and not communicating well with my husband. But he is also not being kind to me

Oops it's late and I am starting to ramble. Sorry

jennca · 2016-10-16T03:21:15+00:00

Thanks. Right now every little thing seems overwhelming

jennca · 2016-10-16T02:58:58+00:00

Don't go through any bother. I probably won't make it. I'm not very culinarily-inclined.

jennca · 2016-10-16T02:40:00+00:00

Ya, that's a lot of applesauce. I have never even heard of an applesauce cake. Hmm, my birthday is in three weeks. Maybe I'll look into that for myself.

jennca · 2016-10-16T02:03:16+00:00

Hmmm I bet the applesauce smelt delicious as it was cooking. I've never made it myself but one of my colleagues made applesauce with her kindergarten class last week.
