WELL......Who would have thought it? I am broken... I am on stress leave from school, have been off now for two weeks and still, I cry when I think seriously about the fact that I have left.
I couldn't stay any longer or I would have done something that would have made me less than I am. This makes me feel inadequate and somewhat ashamed of myself. I feel that I have let my students down BUT I could not have stayed.
I have no idea if I will go back to teaching, however I do know that it won't be at the school at which I was previously posted. What lies ahead for me is very blurry right now.
What will I do? Any suggestions?

About Me
- Mumma J
- I live in Perth, Australia. I am the only human in my house which I share with two cats. I have two adult children whom I love to bits. Most of the time I love what I do, I'm a teacher, and it is not just a job to me! What else can I tell you? Well I'm the wrong side of fifty - so I'm old. I'm not quite a technophobe, and at the moment I feel like I am in another universe - all this stuff is new to me and I'll probably muck it up and therefore embarrass my two kids.
Things I love!
Pinched this from someone else, but it shows two things I love: cats and books!

I hear ya !!
Do not feel ashamed or guilty (says she who still feels a little guilty), it happens to the best of us (me included) !
Be assured that the awful feelings will fade and you will once again love what you do. Time is the best healer and those that love and respect you will understand that.
As to what to do ... come and and have some 'child free' days with me. Lets us go forth and find the best coffee shop in Perth during school hours and read a good book cover to cover while doing it !
