Where did the sunshine go?

The last two weeks at work have been a huge drain on me. It seems that one thing after another keeps piling up on me. I have had to contact more parents and have more parent/teacher conferences in the last two weeks than I have in the last two months. It seems that just as soon as one problem is solved, another rises up. It is starting to become very wearing upon me. I am at the point now that I am thinking, "Is it me? Am I a bad teacher?" It doesn't seem that anyone else is having this much difficulty. I am trying to not get too emotional about it because I'm thinking maybe my pregnancy hormones are just taking over rational thinking. However, there were several times today when I wished I could just lock myself in a closet and have a good cry. On top of that, my pile of grading has now become as deep as the Grand Canyon. I don't know how I will ever catch up! I stayed until 5:30 on Tuesday and 5:45 today. In reality, I could have stayed until midnight and I'm still not sure I would have caught up. So, all in all, I am very ready for this week to be over and am hoping for a much brighter February.
