I failed this winter.

NaNoWriMo. Running regularly. Eating healthier.

Eh. Whaddareyagonnado?

I considered not working today because I thought I needed some time to myself, without work or without kids. I wanted to wallow in the fact that my husband wasn’t home yet.

Then I remembered that I had bills to pay, namely the dog’s doctor bills.

When I accepted a sub job in special education, I had no idea what to expect. I’ve never worked with special ed, save for a student with ADHD many years ago.

I had a great time. Small class size. Students were actually ahead of their weekly schedule so the classes became study hall.

I’m glad I took the job today and met more students who are slowly changing my opinion of teenagers (in a good way). It has opened up the possibility of subbing in special education in the future.

I’m glad I sucked it up.
