Mom commented tonight about how I'm coping better than a year ago. Things that used to drive me crazy are just par for the course. It's homecoming week, so we have more chaos than usual.
When the egg toss is scheduled for lunch on Tuesday instead of during the field day on Thursday, I've learned not to question too much. Only to wonder how late we'll be to 5th period. And when it's announced that we'll report to 5th period and then be called out for the toss, I managed to have students get started on their warm-up journals. Kept going with the work until we were called out. We left. I was skeptical that we'd come back (40 minutes left in class, but you know how long an egg toss can take...), but was ready to go when we did.
I don't like it. It's still frustrating. (I won't see those kids for the rest of the week.) But my expectations for the school (and myself?) are lowered to a point where I can take some time off and return to sanity.
