    bowwow-people take jobs they love. i LOVE my job, but because of all the pre-pesach prep, and the kids hyped up before yuntif no one wants to be there.

    “Was someone holding a gun to your head when you accepted the position?”

    how can you ask such a question??? are you jealous that we have off more days than you? no one was holding a gun to my head B”H when i took my JOB! I am happy with my job and at the same time I am offered a break as are the kids. Until YOU become a teacher YOU cant say a word about it! Many of you work a job that you dont have to prepare for. We do. we are making phone calls at night, we are dealing with principals and psychologists(when school hours are over) and our job is constantly on going when you are food shopping and a parent stops us and asks hows my kid doing. so next time you see your kids teacher food shopping number one: dont stop them to ask about your child. that is their time away from the classroom. second: ask them how are THEY doing and THEIR families. You’ll look at things in a whole new light!

    Yes there are times when days off are excessive, but think like this: Would you want to teach children who rather nto pay attention the day after purim or after a yuntif? Would you teach children when vacation is so soon and they dont want to learn only talk about it? And put yourself in ur kids shoes. While everyone is so busy with yuntif prep kids are thinking “i want to help mommy too!” they dont want to be in a classroom! trust me i see it!

    not this again! as a teacher i can telll you how the kids are acting in school right before any yuntif or vacation. they are crazy, looney, cant sit, fighting with each other and more. why dont u sit 6-8 hours in a classroom, listening to “lectures” or for preschoolers being with the same teacher and dealing with that. right before any yuntifs or vacation i am so burnt out from the kids, imagine how they feel. just remember we are nto a babysitting service. we are spending more hours in a week with your kids then you are. and the same way when you can be with your friends it gets to be too much, your kids feel the same way. being a classroom with more than 20 kids a day your child gets to feel annoyed or sick of the others. trust me ive seen it. until you are in a classroom you cant judge.

    oh and i have one more thing to add. why not call cell phones a plague? cell phones are whats keeping parents from their kids. its whats keeping kids from their parents. how about all the texting that goes on btwn opp genders thats supposedly a problem. affairs come from that too! cell phones are just as bad and if anything…WORSE!

    we have gone thru this MANY times! Facebook is NOT a plague. there were WORST websites out there that were destroying marriages. i would name you one but its not longer around. on that website married ppl were free to go on and look for other married people to do who knows what! Facebook???? you see who the friends are!!! if someone is having an affair from it then thats crazy! Yes people write stupid things on it and can get themselves into trouble but thats their problem! If you have it, then get rid of it. there are people i speak to in england, israel, and australia. do you think im going to email them back and forth all the time? no. by having facebook i pick and choose who i want to talk to and who’s pictures i want to see. but to sit here and say its a plague? yes people are against it. but the advantages i use it for is not what i call a plague! people who i havent spoken to in a long time were able to wish me a mazel tov after i got married. i am able to see my cousins pics in california and see how her kids are doing. i was able to get advice from people on different things by seeing what they went thru. Facebook is not a plague. as in everything in life…YOU can bring out the good of it!

    bec coffee is not so healthy. think of it like this. when most ppl drink coffee it makes them go to the bathroom. so therefore you loose all that “hydration” you think you got. because after your drink it and use the bathroom you are hungry again and of course…THIRSTY!

    HIE- the car is a death trap. if you can handle it without your parents in the car and you have good reflexes and are not going to space out and talk on phone etc then go for it. if not, then dont rush!

    thank you all. i have this like weird “pains” i get. i dont know what they are. it comes and goes. i just always assume its gas.

    anon-i need like 6 an hr.

    am yisrael- im not making yuntif. no way no how! ive been taking my vitamins way before i was planning. my moms works for my Doc so B”H i get what i need and when. because im due before yuntif etc, i do want to make sure that i have things set up. im very anxiety ridden to begin with but just for my own head i need to do what i gotta do. cuz i do need to buy like a strechie and carseat/snap n go all before.

    aries-we are planning to start on pesach that way, since the hubs is home…why not?!

    all in all my nerves are like ahhhh!!!!

    zuber-smile!

    light-you must always daven for clarity! i did and i davened to find the right one and guess what…i knew it right away. on my first date my mom was out of town, we called her to let her know we wanted to get married. of course she freaked but you’ll know when its right. if the conversation can just flow and u make each other smile…THAT IS CLARITY! when you dont have to question anymore “do i want to be ith him?” etc. then you know it’s the right thing! yes its scary but when you have a good feeling about him and he to you thats it! go for it! then again me and my husband spoke on the phone the whole week before we met and wed both be upset when it was time to hang up. again, that is clarity! when you miss him and cant imagine life without him thats how you know!

    there is a number in the Blumenkrantz book that you can call-718-337-6056. Mods, its in the book for this year so its a public number. again there is rabbi binyamin forst who is also available. whenever i call he is very patient and takes the time to answer my questions. i only call him if i cant get in touch with my Rav or if I’m calling about something more intense. since my rav is in constant contact with Rabbi Forst it is ok. you can ask him anything and he is there to gladly answer it for you. i always made it a point to say who i was whether he asked or not because i wanted him to know who i was etc. B”H he is a really special man!

    hakol-ambien it helps a lot. but then u become addicted and then haveto wean youself off. thats what i did but b”h it worked. another thing i do is let a movie or tv play in the background on mute. it helps me tremendously and thats better than the ambien. u might wake up just to turn it off but its def worth it. or try melatonin.

    according the lubavitch (which i am) they dont shave because the Rebbe said that you are not supposed to touch the 5 corners of your face. since we dont know what they are we dont shave.(well the men i mean) they dont even touch the hairs at the tips to trim it since its alll attached

    ok here goes-

    erev shabbos in camp, the first shabbos there, and a girl has to go to the hospital. since i was the only girl there over 21 who was not a married staff member i could go. they told me to take a cab back and there was money there ready for them. fast forward a few hours a cab finally comes to hospital only to tell me i need to pay then or get out. so i went back into hospital and they offered to pay for it. now i have to wait another like half hr to an hour for a cab. next guy comes. total druggie and he starts asking me questions about judaism. all of a sudden he starts saying hes outta gas. we pull over and he didnt even know where he was giong to begin with! now we are stuck on the side of the road. i had no cell as it was shabbos and i was really freaked out. next thing i know some guy pulls over and the cabbie goes over to him as if they are best friends. I was like omg this is it, this is it. this other guys comes to the car and introduces himself and says hi. i said to myself “even if im michalal shabbos because im opening the car door this should be the worst.” i was trying to do evenerything right the whole time which was extremely hard! now i go to sit on the ground and i said to the guy jokingly you wanna drive me abck to camp. he says yeah. he says hes gonna call his girlfriend and ask how to get there. he gets the directions and i go to open the door for the backseat. he tells me why you going there sit in the front. i was like uhhhhh ok. he saw i was so nervous that when he went to reach for his phone or drink he said im just getting this or im just getting that etc. now we are talking and he tells me he has twin daughters. i was like oh. he originally told me he was toveiah and i was like ok this is better but then he told me abt the girls and i was like wow. he was joking about being toveiah. he then told me his dad was dead and i asked him oh what did he do for a living and he said he was in jail and i said why and he said “because he murdered someone.” i was like ok lets get outta here now!!!! b”H i got back to camp and all was well…at 1am!
