More meetings and more getting used to processes and tools. I have been completely drained at the end of every working day, trying to absorb information at the same time contribute as much as I could to the team.
Which simply left me too exhausted to tell all three of you my new adventures at work.
But first thing's first. Right now, I am trying to get Sara's morale up. She's not been doing well at school and she's feeling that the other kids are smarter than her. Bottomline is, she's not enjoying school. Yeah I know, here we go again.
I'll be contacting her school because I think some of the materials they are teaching are not age-appropriate. It's not an excuse I am making up for Sara and we do our part by studying together. I've done my homework and no other school is teaching 5-6 year olds how to spell "calculator" and other four-syllable words that are not necessarily associated to one another.
Because she is a December baby, it makes it harder for Sara to understand some of the work that are covered in class. And she's fast learning that she isn't the smartest one in the class because she's got one sticker in her spelling book when everyone else gets two or three. And everyone else gets all their sums right except for her. Oh, and then there was also a Piglet eraser incident that I have not told you guys about.
This recurring theme of being "not good enough" is really driving me insane in more ways than one. Up to the point of me wanting to flip these people a birdie and run them down with a bulldozer. I have been made to feel like I am not good enough by other people, but because I am a big girl and I know who I am and why I do things the way I do, I can tell them to buzz off. My kids are just too young to know and fend for themselves. So for as long as they are made to feel like they are not good enough, these people will have to deal with me.
And when my kids have their own confidence, they can repay me by saying "I got it from my momma".
