The end of a long two weeks

The last two weeks have been very difficult. I don't even think I can put into words the stress that has come from the work we've had to get done around here with all the english "programs." And even now as I type this I am just exhausted thinking about it all. Tomorrow (Friday) is teacher's day here. Which means people bring there kids to school and the teachers don't do lessons but they just play with the kids all day. I have been given permission to work from home. More time than I had planned on. Unfortunately, I think about the details of things and so right now there is just an ever growing to do list and I wish I could stay afloat but I'll be honest, right now is tough. I have done well and stayed focused for the first week and ahalf but this week I started to break down, and now I tend to cry very easily at the slightest things these days. Work overwhelms me, people overwhelm me, and cleaning overwhelms me. I'll be honest I've never had this kind of stress before and for this long. The hardest thing right now is that I feel like I've been letting my students down. Because I am working in two places and covering some other stuff I don't feel like I have given my students what they need and quality teaching. So today being teacher's day my 4th grade class of boys bought me a bouquet of flowers. So beautiful. They are so sweet. I am tired of missing things/enjoying things because of the stress. I'm not doing a great job of managing it. So yes...as much as I'd like to share right now with you a happy smiley update...I just don't have it today. Miss you all!
