As the recession continues, those of us left in the workplace are working 2-3 times as hard to cover the workloads of those laid off. Add a new baby and a toddler into the mix and it makes for one constantly tired and crabby mom. What's even worse for those of us in the education field is that our federally mandated "standards" and government determined "progress" toward those standards continue to increase as our staff decreases. So we are left to do more with less. There are definitely not enough hours in the day to accomplish all the data collection, analysis, and meetings on top of planning instructions, keeping gradebooks up to date, filling out daily behavior reports, calling parents.......ugh.....the list never ends.
So today my post is disgracefully short, but I need to fit in a shower, making and packing breakfast and lunch, cleaning and packing the breast pump, and getting ready to lead a meeting all in 1 hour. Ha!
