    I am definantly feeling the pangs of teaching. I love so much of it, but just find someof it insanity. I am hoping to make money at the flea market and maybe find a new career in crafting. Maybe. Sure would be happier if I could do what I love and enjoy. Now if I could get paid to raise...

    On good notes: Daughter called and apologized and is seeking help. Hubby is sober. Yep, sober. He is also attending meetings. Alanon has been a great emotional outlet and educator for me. Life is good, work is not. So I think it is time to relocate and rethink.

    And your teachers are overwhelmed and being forced to take less and less and do more and more. I may either go back to school to work anything else. Dont know what else to do. Its costing me to work at school, my health, my sanity, everything. We have over 200 positive kids and teachers with...

    Amen. So many are on disability. The pedophile down the road is unemployed and gets a check for being a pedo. He cant work. BS. He should go hungry and without. Maybe it would deter others from hurting kids. Instead we give him money to sit at home comfortably and all the free time he...

    the hispanic population is the majority in Texas. Border patrol are overwhelmed and find it useless. Deport them today and see them again in two weeks. It is worth the risk to those who want over. Perry IMO is anti border control because of the huge cheap labor force they provide. And you...

    So two certified teachers applied for a position as a teacher's aid in our school. WOW. Thats barely minimum wage. Four year degrees, specializations and skills and they can't find a job. What a nightmare. Texas is going further and further south. Now I may piss off a lot of people but I...

    Colowyo - grudgingly settling in :P

    I always packed luggage for the last few days. Everyone was to live out of their luggage, everything else was packed. Works great. Kids knew they had to pack their clothes, toothbrush, hairbrush etc. That way I could pack the bathroom to bare bones and not worry about anyone having their...

    yep, I had some pretty sore fingertips after bare handling my soaps. I also got the red raw hand wash from some. It's best to allow for the cure time if you're gonna give it away or sale it. I am just an impatient soul.
