First year teacher question - is this time of year always the most difficult? I'm seeing programs get cut, people being RIF'd, leadership being absent... morale is low and it's affecting the students. Is this a special case or, is it always like this?

Today I told my 6th period if that's how they were going to show up to class to not come. 1 more day (with students) before spring break.

Background is A mess of paint and brushes, including a glass of dirty water, 27 paint containers. Foreground is a hand holding a dungeons and dragons mini fig that from context, was recently painted. Mini fig is a human with a sword wearing green clothing and brown pants

I painted my first mini! He's only slightly googly eyed, and the brows are sisters - not twins. (Also I'll do a wash of some kind for some depth)

As predicted, the Cheeto in chief is fucking things up. Do what you can for the ones you love, we gotta band together to weather this storm.

Also, FUCK BILLIONAIRES.

It has been eight days since my last Amazon purchase. For a teacher, that is a LIFETIME.

Hoping to phase it out, wish me luck and let me know alternatives!

Hey all, the sun is shining, the coffee is hot, and we can take a nap. Hold on to the small things, recognize them and cherish them. Today will be ok.

Honestly, if this doesn't force me to raise chickens I don't know what will.

It is not wrong to worry. A personal maxim that guides my therapeutic approach is to cease being at war within the self. When we approach every part of us with friendliness and curiosity, taking for granted that it's trying to help and not giving up until we've learned how it is trying to help, so much becomes easier inside. We end up at the desired destination—decreased tension and anxiety, more aliveness—but through a path that initially seems counterintuitive.

I just... I'm speechless. I don't know how I'm still surprised by anything.

I am SO tired after the long weekend, and I wasn't sure why, until I remembered PTSD is a thing. I think I'm having a long drawn out anxiety attack?

It's fine, it will only last 4 years, I'm fine.
