After posting the response to my letter to the editor, I feel like my blood had a momentary boiling. But now, I feel a slow, cool stream pulsing in my veins.
To be honest. I am grateful that my kids are nearing the end of their public educations. I am so tired of fighting to get what teachers need in their classroom, volunteers to run cooperative programs, and arguing with "haters" who, like a bull dog, can't let an agrument go.
Maybe I'm just tired because I'm finally ending a 13 year association with my local schools are a local PTA leader. I'm tired from years of pleading and begging other concerned parents to get involved and work together with us as we do what we can to fix the issues we have some limited control over. Maybe I'm still tired from the all night senior party we hosted from which I have yet to catch up my sleep.
I am tired. That, I know.
But just because MY kids are done and nearly done, doesn't mean I don't care. I just can't argue and fight and discuss and resort to name calling and mud slinging and the conspiracy theories that seem to plague those who disagree with how our schools are running.
I'm just tired.
Check with me in September and see if anything is different. I hope it is, but I'm too tired to do it right now.
