The prompt for November 4th: Write about all the different roles you play in your life (i.e. wife, mother, sister, teacher, etc) Long day today, a lot of rough classes. Surprisingly, one of them that I thought would be a little hard (their teacher just left last week on maternity leave), was pretty easy. I got a compliment from the principal that is overly critical of me as well, about my bulletin board I did. Not sure how to post a photo (or if I can) here at PB, but I will if I figure it out. I'm pretty proud of it.
Different roles. I was first a daughter and granddaughter. Both have been a big struggle for me through most of my life, since my family is about as off as they come. I'm a big sister to one awesome younger brother (24 now) and one...'free spirited' is the nicest thing I can say...younger sister (22 now). Growing up was fun, and my brother and I probably ganged up TOO much on our sister. I'm also a step sister, older and younger. I have a 21 year old step brother and a 27 year old step brother. I don't really know either too well as I've never lived with either of them, and have only seen them sporadically through the years. My older step brother lives with his grandma in Tennessee (always has) and my younger step brother lives in Florida with his mom. I'm a step daughter too, and my step dad is great. I am a friend, but a weird one. I've finally figured out what is 'wrong' with me after taking a good deal of personality tests, I am an INFJ according to Meyer's Briggs. One of the more rare personality types. I'm an introvert at heart, and am exhausted by people, but come across as an extrovert some. I also read people better than most. This makes me I think hard to be friends with, if things start to dip in my life I tend to run and hide, and hermit things out. I literally will talk to no one. Then people start dropping like flies off my radar. Hmm. I'm close to only about 3 people. Sometimes I am okay with that, sometimes I'm not so okay with that. I'm a wife and a daughter in law. I love being a wife. Yes, sometimes I want to punch my husband (who doesn't?) but I love him and he is my best friend. No doubt about it. Isn't there some new Pink song about that kind of feeling? I love being a daughter in law too. My in laws are fantastic. I am an art teacher. I struggle with this, it is a hard job. I teach in a very rural, very poor school district in the lowcountry of South Carolina, about an hour and fifteen minutes from my house. Lots of behavioral problems, no money or budget, just...issues. After issues. After issues. Some days are fantastic, others make me want to quit my job and just...not teach. This is my first year, so it is up and down, and I know that is just how it is. There is a magical feeling though when you're trying to teach a concept and the kids just GET it though. Nothing like it. That's all I can come up with for now. Time for dinner and bed - I will be lulled to sleep by benedryl tonight with all of my gross sickness again, I think I've been somewhat sick for 10 weeks now. Bah to new teacher immune system! cross post to OD - I am kiery at that site as well!
