Most days, the life of a working mom to me feels like an uncontrollable freight train heading towards a brick wall. Some days it feels like the train has hit the wall head on.
The end.
I cannot say I enjoyed this year working. I can say that teaching is still the perfect job for me. The day flies by like no other job in the world, and I enjoy the interaction with teenagers more than I would interaction with colleagues. That being said, teenagers are more horrible than ever, lazier than ever, and yes I am frustrated beyond belief with them most days. However, the job is never boring and is always a challenge so most days I smile more than frown. I still wish I was a human lie detector because approximately 95% of what teenagers tell teachers is a lie. They are darn good at lying too!
The "new house" is proving to be my peaceful sanctuary. Where else can someone see a view like this in their backyard at 6 AM before heading to work? Makes the school day easier.
In conclusion, yes I will quit my job if I win the lottery. Yes, I would rather be at home with Blaine. Yes, teenagers are so horrible I want to keep Blaine in a bubble and home school him. No, I will not do any of those things because I'm pretty sure in the long run, this is the best way for things to be.

Enjoy the summer!! Going from days full of teenagers to days with a three year old. Wouldn't be much transition around here. My nearly 3 year old acts like a teenager trapped in a 3 year old's body some days. :)
Congrats on finishing the year! Hubby just finished too. Enjoy your summer.
What a gorgeous pic!
So good to read a post from you again, and I love how you summed everything up.
Let's go buy lottery tickets :)
I'm with you the bubble. Our school system is in turmoil, and the end is nowhere in sight. I wish that I could stay home with the boys; unfortunately, it's just not an option.
I'm glad your first school year is done - God bless you for being able to deal with teenagers every day!!! ;0)
Enjoy your summer!
I was so glad to see a post from you pop up in my reader- I've missed you! Glad it's summer and you'll get a little break- well, from teenagers anyway.
