Forgive me for not feeling too sorry for all of you. I know you all work very hard and deserve every second you have off. But I had off 2 days, Christmas and New Years. I would have loved to have had a week and a half off.

Hey, you should have gone for teaching...lol Yeah...We do deserve every second we have off...but we could always use more

I cant believe vacation is over! When we first left I thought, omg 2 weeks, this is gonna last and last...I WAS SO WRONG!

It went so fast and although I know exactly what I am going to do when I go back, I cant imagine waking up early every day again and driving to work. Usually after the first day back Im ok but Sunday night I am going to be in tears!!!!!!!

Thank god for february break!!!!!!

OK....I thought I was depressed the other day...BUT today...I want to kill myself. I woke up sooo early this morning and I just kept forcing myself to go back to sleep!!
I only planned for Monday...I guess that's better than nothing I dont know how the heck I am going to get up early tomorrow

Wow, try engaging a classroom full of children from the time they get there to the time they leave for five days a week, and see how you feel. As much as I know you were probably kidding, it's still a bit offensive. I wouldn't turn around and say, 'Well, I don't feel bad you only had two days off because that's the job you chose.' I don't know, just not cool to say something like that, especially when being a teacher is one of the most important jobs. None of us would be where we are without teachers. JMHO. I don't normally care what the hell anyone else says, but as a teacher, I felt the need to comment. Sorry.

BRAVA!!!!!!

Omg...I am having such anxiety because I dont want to go back!!!!!!

I love my job but I just feel like I CANT do it tomorrow. Mind you I only woke up at 2 in the afternoon today and now I wont be able to sleep all night long...not good at all!

I think a lot of exhausted teachers and kids will be in school tomorrow.

UGHHH don't i know it...I slept until 12 today...
going back really stinks!!!

I can't wait til Feb. break either, but what do we have to look foward to in March???
