just so you know...
 

i'm still around, tho i havent been posting much.

my pgce is kinda taking it out of me.

inevitably im gonna be teaching kids who self harm, maybe who use ryl, and that scares the bejeebus out of me. i don't want them to know that 'Miss' does it too!

days are tiring at the mo. and i've lost self restraint in the face of all the work. my bodily welfare is least of my priorities. i guess you could say i feel like im scraping the bottom of the barrel and i still gotta keep on giving, for the kids. sigh.

but i want y'all to know i miss ya and think of ya. sorry i dont have the energy to reply to much at the mo.

thanks pet. i'll survive!! the kid thing is crazy isn't it - them being petrified of ppl in authority finding out, little knowing i've been doing it since their age...it's a head-f*ck really...

thanks for your support, as ever, you are a star

I understand what it is like to have to be strong to teach. And to have to cover your SI. I'm only teaching one class a week, at a small private school. There are three girls in my class and they are all of the age that they could start SI themselves. I'm there to teach sewing, so I'm using a special two sided tape to make sure my sleeve doesn't ride up.

Teaching is exhausting! The class I teach is only an hour and a half. On Friday I was just about ready to scream at the girls.

Edit your personal profile so your kids won't recognize you.

Take care of yourself.

I understand this completely. I used to work with kids in a psych unit. Most of them did this and it was a pain in the butt to have to cover myself all the time. At one point it got out that I did but thankfully the girl that started telling people got discharged fairly soon after. Now, starting tomorrow, I'm dealing with new offenders at work. The mentally ill people. I will probably have to cover up when I see them. But, I tend to cover anyway so we'll see...
