All weekend my grandfather has blown up my phone. I wanted one weekend with just my little family and friends. I didn't want to have to worry about the drama of everyone else. Just wanted to enjoy my weekend considering it was mother's day weekend. I swear the messages he's left me are crazy. I'll call him tomorrow and come up with an excuse to why I haven't answered his calls. If I tell him I wanted a weekend to myself he would get all upset and pissed off so I'm thinking of telling him that I left my phone in my classroom on Friday. It may be wrong to lie but considering my family is a bunch of drug addicts, gang members, disrespectful, drama filled people. I don't feel bad for not answering any of my family's calls all weekend. Not only do I have to deal with my family's drama and having to be the anchor of the family, when I'm the baby of four kids. I should be the one asking my older siblings for support or help but also my students have tough home lives that I deal with all week. My Infant to toddler coach, early achiever coach, behavioral/social/developmental coach for my kids, and my boss are always asking me what I do to get away. I work along side of them all to help my students and they support me while I dealing with their delays or behaviors. They tell me to take a break from my students and family. It's a lot of pressure on my shoulders so this weekend I took time to myself and I feel great. I feel reenergized, focused, stress free and I feel like I can go to work tomorrow and make a difference in my students, support my students and their parents and deal with my grandfather. Now to enjoy my night since my husband is at work and my daughter is sleeping.
