Hi and thank you to everyone who responded to my last post. You all had such wonderful, positive things to say. I can't believe it is only Tuesday. Three more days of school this week. Today was bad. I let a 7th grade class get to me and I think they knew I was about to cry. It's an unwritten rule at school----never let a student see that you are upset. I gave a few lessons after school, but then cancelled the lessons I give at my home. I just need to do nothing for a while. I think I need to accept the fact that I cannot handle 7th and 8th graders. My moods and their hormones just do not mix. Unfortunately---7th and 8th are part of the territory. We will get our contracts for next year in a couple of weeks---so I need to decide what I am going to do. My husband says just quit, but I know that working keeps me going on the days when I would just curl up and stay in bed. I did call about an opening for a preschool assistant director that was in the paper. The pay was laughable but it's 3 miles from my house as opposed to the 50 I drive now. The director said I was over qualified, but I taught preschool for 11 years (because it was at the private school my kids attended and I only worked 5 mornings a week.) Anyway---she liked the fact that I had the experience. They can't match my pay or give me benifits and actually, I would rather be in the classroom then be an assistant director. I just don't know what to do. Anyway---I have an interivew with the preschool Friday afternoon. I see my therapist tomorrow and then my doctor on Monday. I am going to ask about the patch MAOI since they both want me to try an MAOI. My mind feels like it is just going in circles right now. I think I'll go lay down and just vegetate for a while.
