I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

NM - don't worry about venting about work. That is the point of this thread. A place to vent, and it seems like there are many teachers on here so you have a lot of support. I hope the meeting goes well with the principal about the boy. He definitely needs a 1 on 1 aid that will help him stay focused. He may have days that are good, and maybe by the end of last year, he was great, but obviously with the summer break, he needs a lot of 1 on 1 attention to get back into the routine of school.

With the house, believe me, there are days when my kitchen looks like what you described. Most of the time I go straight home after work and when S goes to bed clean-up a little, but that can't always happen especially if I plan to do something else.

I hope everything settles down a bit soon, at least so you can rest. I know for us we have 6 wks before our next day off so if it is the same for you, I hope everything goes well for the next few weeks and then you can have some time to relax.
