So I'm really not happy with my job right now. I don't feel like our administration at both the building and district level are really on top of things.
I feel like every day I'm getting emails telling me I need to do something ASAP. Some of them are easy, some take some planning.
In addition to that, I'm really unhappy with this 7th grade class that I'm teaching. The boys in the class are total jerks. And I never feel like I'm more than a day ahead of myself. I feel like I'm floundering. And the sad part is, I'm staying until like 4 pm most days and still feel that way.
I feel like I walk around in a cloud most days and I'm just so eager for the end of the day to come when I can just go home. I'm wondering if some of it is a pregnancy fog. I'm worried that it will only get worse when my maternity leave is up and I have to go back to work after having Baby M.
Job sharing is sounding better and better....so is being a trophy wife. I still don't think I can be a full time stay at home mom, but I'm telling ya, this job is getting harder and harder. I just feel like there are a million hoops I'm being asked to jump through. I didn't feel this way at all last year. I'm so eager for the next 11 weeks to go by, just so I can get away from my job. Isn't that sad? Of course I'm super excited about finally meeting my kid, but the idea of not having to go to work every day and deal with all of that crap is just as exciting to me right now.
I really need to figure out what's going on....
Oh, and they still haven't found a long term sub for me. I'm getting really stressed about that too. That's a whole other drama that I just can't get into without getting upset....

Wouldn't job sharing solve so many problems?!?! Our board laughs at the union when we constantly bring it up. I wish so much that we had sharing.Grr.
I'm back! :)
dude, i understand the looking forward to maternity leave for job reasons - i was right there with you. Don't feel guilty.
I will say, that though our jobs aren't always great, after about week 3 of being back i was right into the swing of things, juggling life as always.
Job sharing would be great. Perhaps i think this because it's the best decision for me, but i think that at least some work out of the home, be it paid or volunteer, is good for everyone.
We all feel that way at times, even us non-pregnant ones!
Oh, and don't worry at all about the long term sub. That is not your problem. You gave them more than enough time to find one. You just need to get your lesson plan together and let them deal with it - one thing you shouldn't have to have on your mind - you're doing your part.
Oh, and don't forget. Pregnant women are notorious for being bitches (sorry!!). Therefore, you can take this time to really speak your mind, and then blame it on the hormones. :D
I think job-sharing is a fabulous idea and I wish more companies did it. I also wish more companies would instill 4 day work weeks. You can stagger which days people are working so as to have each day amply covered. I guess that one wouldn't work so well for teachers, sorry.
I hope everything works out!! Do you think that its more stressful because you are in general more tired/easily annoyed due to your pregnancy? As never been pregnant, I don't know what affects you and how--beyond rumors. It maybe easy to jump back into things when baby M is born because your body isn't so stressed??
