Hectic week, hectic head

This week has been hectic to say the least. Workwise, I again, have been asked to work in 2 new places and take over a previous tutor's sessions. That means, 4 classes where I'm picking up what a fellow tutor has left behind..this is no easy feat and has, to be frankly honest, pissed me off a little. I like the places, they are in the Radford area of Nottingham, so very easy for me to get to but to piuck up on many subjects that another has left behind, is HARD WORK! I have been given no debriefing, no info about who's doing what, no learning support on 2 of the days meaning I'm lone teaching with 6 learners, 5 male and 1 female, in a small room with no panic alarm! Not good.

So I guess this weekend is going to be a hedonistic one to alleviate the stresses! I actually think it's time I delve into looking for something new to do, that or go down to 3 days working. It's hard to be a single parent; teach disaffected youths, keep a home running, maintain financial stability, nurtue and be there as much as possible for my own kids..Not an easy juggling act..and if they expect me to carry 3 laptops on public transport through the inner city of Nottingham, then I'm going off work with stress..my safety is a damned sight more important and I REFUSE to carry more than one laptop through such an area. We'll see what the outcome is!

Here's to an intersting weekend..Spend time with A, Go to a party and take up an other offers that are thrown my way!

Happy Easter People and I will remain POSITIVE :-)

Yes I'm with Dinners, stay positive no matter what. Take it all one moment at a time and be thankful for everything good and bad.
