Relief

It's amazing how one conversation can make you feel so incredibly differant. Last night I was over at my principal's house for dinner and he told me if I feel like leaving I shouldn't feel bad about it and should get that going sometime around Christmas. He also told me he would write a letter of recomendation as well. Then his wife told me that I shouldn't feel like they want me to leave but don't feel like I have to stay. Hearing this made me feel so much better. I was thinking about leaving and putting my name on the call list after Christmas but now I know its not going to hurt anyones feelings that I leave. I know no job is going to be perfect but this job is so incredibly far from it. I even had a student (3rd garder) tell me he thought my job was really hard becasue I had to do some much. I have like 5 jobs, and the more I talk to people the more they seem to want me to do. That happened earlier this week when I talked to the DCE in Sterling. I had an idea for something to do with the cicuit youth and she told me I should do it. I DON'T HAVE TIME!!!! Anyhow... Plus if I am going to leave I can't very well start a program.
Funny thing that happened on Friday- My 3/4th grade students asked me if I had a boyfriend. I told them no finally after a little prodding. So then they decided I needed to get married so I could be a Mrs., calling me Miss Bentley is too hard. Thier solution is that I marry my dad, MY DAD! What is that? But I told them that wouldn't work becasue my dad is married to my mom. Then, of course, one child wrote me a note to tell me he has a 26 year old cousin who I could marry. Isn't that a great way to end a week? Having 9 and 10 year old try and set me up. hmm...
