Just one of those days.

It's 8:30 pm.

Another mentally exhausting day.

I still have to plan for tomorrow.

But I really need to vent and this blog post needs to get from head to the screen in front of me.

Another crazy day.  It's amazing how I classify how my day went, solely by how my last half hour went.  I really tried to control myself today, tried to calm them down to a lower level of noise.  But suddenly nothing was working.

Sigh.

I did my usual round of threatening - no fun, no vidoes, no games period.  And the restlessness increased.  Teaching is the true test and learning ground of patience.  But that's easier to type than experience.

Yet, I can't wait to get back to class.  To maybe try another behaviour strategy - I'm thinking a time wasting tracker.  Or not.

The to-do list increases by the day, just don't feel like I'm not doing enough everyday.  For someone who loves to plan, this is just a WHOLE new level.

Right now I'm just trying to keep my head above water.

Everyday.

Just the fact that I came back home to Mumma, who hugged me and told me she's proud of me, made it better.

Much.
