One Of Those Weeks

Over the past week, I've been stubbing my toes, smashing coffee pots, getting mad at Mike for buying Instant Pudding, cussing out stupid drivers and basically getting mad at people for no good reason. I've had a headache since I walked into work this morning and now I sit here with chest pains. I really haven't had anything witty or enlightening to say. Life kinda sucks ass right now. And I feel like crying. Not because of anything in particular...just good old hormones kicking in. Gotta love being a woman. Mike figures he should be entitled to four days a month to be a complete asshole for no reason.

My frustration even carries over to work. I have a new student in my class and, in my four years of being a teacher, have never encountered someone who couldn't even read the alphabet. He doesn't even know how to spell his own name. And I'm at a loss as to where to begin with him. To make things worse, he has a lazy attitude. He says he wants to be in school, but when I'm trying to work with him at my desk, he leans back in his chair, arms folded and barely looks at the flashcards or the paper I'm writing on. So, I'm feeling like a failure at work because I don't know how to do my job.

So, tonight I will sit, sip my tea for a bit while I delete old pictures off the computer. I have been extremely tired over the past few days (even though I have slept for at least eight hours each night) so I am looking forward to climbing back into bed. Tomorrow is another day and here's hoping it's a little bit better than today.
