Oy....

I don't know when I picked up saying "Oy!" but it has definitely been showing up in my vocabulary lately to an extreme.

Oy #1.... work makes me so exhausted. I'm also suffering from the sink or swim feeling that first year teachers are said to experience. I have been given a ton of positive feedback from the higher ups in my school but I'm still trying to find my footing with kids this young. Most of my students will turn 4 this fall but one will not turn four until May. In December I'll take over the 5's which should be easier.

Oy #2.... the heat!! Could Texas get any hotter????

Oy #3.... doctor appointment this week, crossing my fingers that my doctor really listens to me.

Oy #4.... I have cut ALL caffeine out of my food and drinks. I even switched to decaf ice tea which surprisingly taste the same despite being lighter in color.

Oy #5.... I've cut out most sodas too... but I still drink sprite when out, but man those headaches were killer for a full week.

Next week will hopefully be easier.
