I am about to punch someone today. I have been in the pissiest mood the last two days. I started the day out today telling my students that they put me in the worst mood ever yesterday and they better not do it again today. The day was fine up until the last hour. I even had to break up a fight. I HATE this time of year. The kids are done, I'm done, and it's like a race to the finish. I have no patience left either. I'm tired of babying kids and holding their hand the entire way. It's time to learn responsibility. For example, one student has a bad family history and grandma just got custody. She "thinks" he's ADD because he can't focus for her, yet she won't take him to the doctor because it's too expensive. So the kid NEVER remembers to bring his homework back to school and he never does his work in the classroom. The grandma asks me to make sure he has all of his work to bring home in his backpack and asks ME to fill out his planner with what he has to do. Can anyone tell me why I should have to do that? Shouldn't this kid learn to be responsible on his own? So of course some days I forget and the kid never remembers so I always get grandma sending me notes that he couldn't do his homework because he didn't have his stuff. IT'S SO FRUSTRATING TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh, I better stop or that is all this post is going to be about.

I have to force myself to go to the gym right now. I didn't go Monday because I had class and had a presentation to finish up before I went. Yesterday I was too pissed to go. So instead I have been raiding my refrigerator and cupboards and eating everything in sight. I tried to do good today but my friend was having an end of year party (she's track 5 and done Friday) and had tons of food left. So I ate a piece of pizza and half a chocolate donut. lol. I guess I better work extra hard today for that one!
