I woke up with a jolt this morning at 4am. I thought maybe my Grandma had finally passed on…. but when I called my mom she said that Grandma was still here. I just want her to be at peace… to no longer be in pain.
I booked my flight home for tomorrow afternoon. I wish I could have left today, but there are some things here I need to take care of before I leave. Neurologist appointment…packing…cleaning…
SHOWING MY HUSBAND I AM REALLY A GOOD WIFE. Poor Mr. Bear is really suffering…. I am stressed and taking it out on him. Last night he brought me home Boston Market for dinner (one of my comfort foods) and then I was a rotten Mrs. Bear.
I am sad and frustrated and angry and don’t know how to express myself in any other way.
I could be gone for a week from school…and before I leaft I needed to do some things.
For instance, I need to bring my students these:
and some of these…
(bought at Giant of course)
Not only will I be missing the 100th Day of School celebration tomorrow, but also our Valentine’s Day celebration will be on Monday. I know in the long run it really doesn’t matter to my students if I am there or not, but I still feel as their teacher it is my duty to make sure they have an enjoyable learning filled experience in school. I also know they are going to get behind in their lessons while I am gone, but I have to go be with my family. I can’t be away any longer.
Someone once told me… You are HUMAN first…. Teacher second.
Funny how I almost put teacher first…
You must be with your family now and without guilt. Just remember there are substitute teachers but rarely are there substitute granddaughters…
So sorry about your grandma…
Ann
I agree with Ann above – you need to be with your family and anyone who is human will understand that. Go home. Be with your grandmother. And I know Mr. Bear understands and supports your decision. love you Mrs. Bear!!!
Don’t worry too much about “being a good wife”. That’s why he’s your spouse…to help you when times get tough. If he didn’t think that he could handle it, he wouldn’t have signed on for it! You’ll be there for him when he’s hurting & not acting like his usual self.
Your valentines & cookies are so cute! Your students will love them.
Prayers for your family.
I totally agree, take care of yourself first. Jobs always come second to you and your family. Hang in there, thinking of you…
Thats what substitute teachers are for! Your kids will be fine, don’t worry about them.
