Why do we do this?

Why do we always act like we are the ones in control? I'm all trying to stress over lots of things like where money is going to come from for all these big bills coming up. So far, things are working out fine. I've been worrying about the house situation, well, I don't know any more than before, but I'm going to give up trying to figure it out and just let it work out. It would be nice to know what's going to happen, but I'm not going to worry about it. Whatever happens will work out either way. I've just got to let go and let God...

I have been super..moody? these last couple weeks. I don't know what my deal is but the kids in my class are really getting on my nerves and I can't handle it. I just want to scream and smack them. I get so frustrated at the smallest things, which these are things that have been going on and they just don't seem to stop. No matter how many times you tell them to "SHUT UP" they keep talking, or follow along reading and they're staring off into space. Today we did practice testing for the state testing coming up in a couple weeks. One of the kids that needs help the most wasn't even paying attention when we were doing everything to his advantage. We were reading all the directions and questions, what we were legally allowed to do, or will be allowed to do on the actual test, and he still made barely above a 50%. One of the others who needs help actually did a good job. Granted he made in the low 70's, but that's outstanding for him. He's barely passing anything else. One of my IEP kids did a good job too. He made in the low 70's as well and that also is good for him. This kid is a different kid from the am to pm. Have I talked about this before? I can't remember. Anyway, we gave him the test after he took his medicine and we know he did a lot better than he would have before. My other IEP kid...she took the 2nd grade test...I might as well have given it to my dogs..haha, I don't mean to be hateful, but it's the truth. Poor girl.

Anyway, this was giong to be a short one but..I like to ramble...until next time!!
