  Annoyed, tired, ready to snap at stupid policies, SPED teacher so also "fighting" and butting heads with students that don't want to do the work I give them or the things I need to help them with. I have little to no patience right now and find myself constantly on the verge of snapping and swearing at my students. I need a day or 2 off.

  I don't teach children, I teach nurses and PAs.  I'm not sure what is more trying.  I explained to everyone that will be a test tomorrow.  At the end of the day, someone came up to me with a specific question about the exam.  Two nurses in the front jumped up and said THERES A TEST TOMORROW?!?  I wanted to throw my pen at them  They missed my explanation about the exam because they were talking the whole time. ugh

  @AKFarmerBecky ugh, I feel for you!!! I have zero patience as well. Take a day off! I went in to my admin's office last Friday and was like "I need a mental health day, where's the calendar?" I am SO looking forward to THIS Friday. I haven't taken a day off for myself since before my DS was born.
  
  @DDRGirlie adults can totally be just as bad as kids!

  Snapping at students, and then feeling really guilty, even when they're high schoolers and deserved it. I'm just tired and grouchy and would rather put in a movie most days. I lost my voice for 3 days last week, that was a real good time.

  Last week I was captain grouchy. Hopefully this week will be better. I've got a lot going on outside of work this week, so trying to make phone calls between speech therapy session has been a pain in the ass.

  I teach K so for the most part, I've appreciated staying busy during the day. It has helped keep my mind off any aches or pains I'm feeling. There have been some moments where I find myself being a little cranky/hard on them. I try to take a deep breath and remind myself "They're only 5, they're only 5.."

  @lyndshurt  I got a little satisfaction today.  The two chatty women scored poorly on the exams today - probably because they were too busy chatting instead of listening, as I make sure I discuss the material asked on the test during the day.  Is that evil?

  @DDRGirlie NOT AT ALL! That would totally bring me satisfaction too. 
  
  @LadyDi711 I teach first grade and I am repeating nearly the same thing to myself all day long. I often feel bad that they have bear my moodiness more than anyone else.

  So I teach college math and when I give quizzes I always give them at the end of class(due to some accommodations students have that says they have to have extra time and the fact that if I give it early students tend to leave class early). I was so annoyed when students were complaining about taking it at the end. Well if you knew the material well enough, it shouldn't matter when you take it!
