Got the official word this morning that due to budget cuts, my position is getting the "axe" at one of my schools. Knew this was coming, but it still pisses me off. 25% of our kids there are identified as G/T and now there will be no one there to service them. Pretty sad.
And there is MORE bad news related to work. Some of you know that I was formerly a special ed teacher working with kids with learning disabilities. Well, every summer I teach special education summer school in a nice, A/C'ed building. Well because of a "glitch" on the IEPs, students cannot attend special ed summer school unless it is specifically written into their plans that they need year-round services. This never was a problem in the past, but it is now. We usually have about 700 kids signed up for sped summer school at this point, but right now we only have 50. So I can no longer count on this summer job (my only income). I didn't apply for regular summer school and I am afraid that all the positions are now filled. That blows.
I also have a pulled muscle in my back...must've happened at the gym on Tuesday night and it hurts like heck. Still no chiropractor, although I have called one a few days ago and they never returned my call. I am terrible about making appointments....I better follow through on this one.
The kids this afternoon were also being jerks :(
I DID however, have fun last night. I met up with Dana at El Patio Mexican Grill to play catch-up and have a nice Mexican dinner. I have totally been craving Mexican. Pretty cool restaurant, read my El Patio Review!
Tomorrow is Friday, I am hoping for a better day :)
girl that sucks...and this place wonders why our kids are so far behind....pitiful!!!
the government just pisses me off with that shit...

ummm..Yeah, that is why we could never get summer school, didn't think I had to add that! You would think they would just put kids in it that need it...so frustrating on this end too.
Maybe something else will turn up, you never know! {fingers crossed}

Oh no, Kristi! That totally sucks...but I'm sure there is a bigger plan for you...I always feel that when not so good things happen, there is always a reason why they happen. Something even better is going to show up for you! :)
