So, I’m feeling incredibly irritable this afternoon/evening for some reason.  It has been going on like this all day, and I’m not sure why I feel this way, but it’s really bad.  For one thing, just like yesterday I am HATING being on this diet.  It’s funny, I don’t even care while I’m at work-I don’t even think about eating, really.  But when I get home I want to eat eat eat!  I want to just chew and enjoy the taste of something for dinner.  And that is such a temporary gratification/satisfaction that it shouldn’t even really matter, but try going without that and you feel rotten.

My day went pretty well.  I started out by finishing the organizing of the Fiction shelves that I’d been working on last week and yesterday.  Then I shelved all of the Fiction books on the cart.  Throughout the day I kept shelving the number books, and we are over halfway done with the cart, but I have to check in and unload the book cart tomorrow morning and then I’ll have a bunch more books to shelve.  So that kinda sucks.  But at least then it will be done.  And LORDY HALLELUJAH after tomorrow I have three days off to get the shelving completely done.  And then I’m going to work on organizing the shelves.  I’m working on that all day during my off time on those three days.  I’ve got to get these shelves in order-they are a nightmare.  So I’m going to do that.  Anyway, I digress.  My first grade and second grade class watched a Magic School Bus video.  I got a lot more time to shelve during that time.  My fourth grade class that came in was fairly well behaved, and they usually aren’t.  Yesterday we were not supposed to have a 5th grade group, as I’m sure you remember me saying, and then I ended up with one.  Well coach went and talked to the 5th grade teacher and told her to not take out the class today, so we should’ve gone down to 2 classes.  Well then our freaking Music teacher, who makes me want to punch him in his red face, decided he’d go brownnose to the principal and ask her about it.  Well that is one thing about our principal.  If you can make a decision without consulting her, by golly you should try. She is so overloaded that if you give her another decision to make, I guarantee it will not be a solution that is good for us.  So of course she decided that we had to go back to all having one of the 5th grades every day.  Then after school he decided he’d come up to me whining about how the 5th grade was all screwed up and he didn’t know who he was going to have and blah blah blah.  I didn’t want to hear about that crap, really, since he was the one who got it all screwy in the first place.  He really gets on my nerves.

So my 3rd grade class was good in the beginning but turned to worse afterwards.  It actually surprised me because they are usually good when I teach lessons, but they seemed to be easily sidetracked.  Then my 5th grade group came in, and though they are usually the roughest 5th grade group, they were the best for me.  They did their work and we actually had time to go over it together! I was shocked!  I have decided that I’m going to start alternating doing checkout, an information resource lesson, checkout, then reading from a YRCA book.  So I can at least get in some reading to them as often as possible.  I know that my principal insists that I do Information Resources, but I hate not being able to ever read to them.  It sucks.

So then I had Pre-K and Kindergarten and they were fine.  I have to say the only thing that ticks me off is that my principal keeps our teachers late, and the K teacher was actually fifteen minutes late picking her class up, and they are only in there for thirty minutes, so I had two classes in there for a while!  And that is no fun!

Then after work I went to Sylvan and watched some more tutoring, which I really enjoyed.  I came home and really just wanted to EAT off the plan but I ended up not doing it.  I made some of the soup but didn’t have the spoon that I always use to stir it so it was very clumpy-so clumpy that I just threw it out, and drank a shake.  I just don’t even want to think about eating anymore.  It sucks.  I just want to get past this.  Add to that the long, boring conversation I had with my mom about how I should change my hair and the way I dress, and the boring gifts she wants me to give my bridesmaids, and the boring plain white china she wants me to get for my kitchen when we want something more colorful.  It’s just been a craptastic day.

I’m ready to lay down and veg.  I just wanted to write because I thought it’d help destress me.  It kinda helped.
