Bone Weary
Dec. 15th, 2009 10:20 pmCount with me... Wednesday (one), Thursday (two) Friday (three)... three is a nice round number, don't you think?
Lately I've been feeling really quite down... For no reason that I can really explain or justify, quite unappreciated and a little bit lost. It's made me rather reticent to do anything really, which is certainly not helpful, because this last week in work has been ridiculously busy - maybe that's why I'm feeling a little push and punched around. No sooner do I get one thing done than another is nipping at my heels demanding attention that I just don't feel like giving. But today I finished the RE assessments, as well as the Reading Assessments, and started entering the data for the whole school English Results onto the network so that it can be analysed to death. What's left to do? Oh yeah, some writing assessments and the IPC 'Myths, Legends and Beliefs' to assess.
Forget anything I might actually want to do with my time - and believe me there's plenty of stuff, but do I have the energy or wherewithall? No.
I swear, if I hear the word 'Ofsted' one more time, I think I'm going to eviscerate someone. Honest to God if an inspection team phones tomorrow, expecting to come in and inspect the school in the last two days of the Autumn term then they're damn well insane!
Tomorrow is the works 'Christmas Dinner/night out' thing. I'll be honest, right now I really don't feel like going. I might feel differently tomorrow, but right now I'm having a serious case of the bah-humbugs!
In fact I could quite easily break into tears just... tired. On the other hand my little "norty boy" (sic) who's on report go all 4s today,(4=Excellent), so that was something we were celebrating at the end of the day. He's a lovable rascal really.
I'm sending extra love and thoughts to all my friends today, you're all appreciated, and when we stretch out to each other it does help. It does.
Is it Saturday yet?
