December Currently

It's that time again!! I'm linking up with Farley from 'Oh Boy 4th Grade to bring you this month's Currently...

I love Storage Wars! I love Brandi...Dave is super annoying! LOL! Anyhow, yesterday I bought my team members, all four of them, granola cups with strawberry yogurt! They are all health addicts so it was perfect! They were all shocked & I think I did a great job of filling their "buckets". They filled mine too, it felt so good to do something so random, and so unexpected for them. We've had a very stressful last couple of weeks and more and more it seems like the demands keep increasing, and the resources keep decreasing. 

This is why I've been thinking more and more about quitting the after school program at my school. I've worked it from 3:00- 5:30pm for the last couple of years, and this year has by far been the hardest. First off, they capped our pay, lower than our regular hourly relate (their explanation is because it's a part-time job).

Then we've been having some little "girl drama" about others complaining about their hours and having to attend conferences and losing hours and blah, blah, blah. I've just gotten to the point where I'm so tired of hearing about it, attending meetings after meetings about it, having to do extra assessments for my class (more than what they originally told us), dealing with behavior problems, & more! 

I mean, I deal with all this during my regular workday and what more having to deal with it after school as well. I think I could make the same amount of money if I put more effort into my tpt store...lol!!

I finally told my admin today I was quitting {I posted this on Sunday & came back to edit it} 

and needless to say they were less than thrilled. I refuse to "stick it out" and continue to stress myself out. At the end of the day, it's just not worth it and I feel at peace with my decision. I broke it to my class today and they were a bit sad, but then they got over it quickly when we started to do our Christmas activities :P.

 I told them I'd bring them a little treat on my last day which will be at the end of the month.

I feel very at peace with my decision and I wanted to share these words of inspiration I found on pinterest;

Have a great day friends!!
