Ummmm ME that's who! So there is alot of stuff going on at the Sussman household. I'm not going to get into it because even thinking about all of it brings on a monster headache. But let's just say that between family stuff and teaching stuff I realized that I am wound pretty tight. The teaching stuff is mostly me freaking about b/c my kids have to take a standardized test in March and so I have to teach them everything they need to know in math by then. Now understand that the school year ends in June but they need to know everything by March. And then after March I get to go back and reteach the stuff they didn't have time to absorb b/c I was moving along so fast trying to teach them everything they need to know to pass the test in March. yeah it doesn't make sense to me either. They also take a reading test, but everyone seems to be doing OK in the reading department. And because of all this performance measuring of both me and the kids I end up giving about 1 assessment a week which is a big waste of time! I kind of feel sorry for kids today, we don't have any time to do fun kid stuff. But they know alot more than I did at their age (well accept they can't add or subtract because who has time to teach that? apparently not their second grade teacher). The whole point of this post is that I need to find a way to relax and to be honest I am not sure how to go about doing it. I feel guilty for any free time b/c there are a million things I could be doing for my class. I had big plans for yesterday but I was layed out with a headache all day. I don't feel right about catching up on the Sabbath. UGH! I can't win! So if anyone has any ideas for doing anything relaxing that I can actually do I am open to suggestions. In other words...................HELP!

Take a Lamaze class and learn relaxing breathing techniques with the preggo ladies ;) J/K... have you ever indulged in a massage or pedicure? Maybe that would help...
SVEN! That is all I have to say
