Anyway, I am getting giddy just thinking about summer...we have 19 days left!! yahoo!
I don't know what it is about TCAP week, but teachers are more stressed and the kids just seem to be even more carefree. In fact, Monday on the playground, I had to send 3 sweet girls to the nurse because they had a terrible falling down and skidding across the concrete accident. Our poor (but WONDERFUL) nurse said it was a little bit like triage getting them all patched up. And right after their accident, I had 2 boys break out into a fist fight. Yes...I said fist fight and yes, I said I teach 2nd grade. Gracious!
Today was our 3rd day, so just one more day left. WOOHOO!! We are all so worn out...I know a lot of teachers who will probably be sound asleep early Friday night.
As I was driving to school this morning, I was praying for TCAP to go well, for my students arrive on time and to be focused. Then my prayer changed to myself. I had a pretty difficult day yesterday in dealing with my infertility. It was one of those days where I was emotionally LOW and ANY little thing was about to send me over the edge. I knew I couldn't deal with another day like that today so I was praying for my lips to stay closed (because if one more person tells me to stop thinking about it and that's when we'll get pregnant, I think I'll scream) God's Grace and Patience and some strength for my Soul. My prayer was still going on as I was in my classroom sitting at my computer listening to Pandora.com when a Mandisa song came on called Stronger. I love her but had not heard this one yet. It was just perfect and became my prayer. The chorus goes like this.....
When the waves are taking you under,
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
