I am exhausted, life is always stressful at the end of the school year. I am working with my school team to save our rural school from being shut down by the district - I have been at meetings every night this week and it will continue into next week.
Unfortunately, this leaves both Maggie and myself exhausted. She has been whinning non stop. I lost my cool and raised my voice at daycare today when she head butted me. Last week she bit me and left a mark on my shoulder. I am so frustrated - I don't even know what to do anymore. I feel like a horrible mom, she behaves for everyone else.

I love this book for when I lose my cool a little too much with the kids

We're going through a similar situation here. Four or five years ago all the schools in the state had to consolidate into districts of at least 2,000 students or pay a penalty (which never happened to those who didn't consolidate). We went through a year or two of trying to figure out how to consolidate, then three years without a teaching contract. Now, four years in, the wealthiest city is trying to pull out of the district because they're tired of the two smaller towns in the district voting down their big sports complexes (as their taxes rise 1.6% and ours rise 6% and 8%). In the meantime, our middle school was closed, my job completely changed, and my job went from full-time at one school to half-time at two different schools. After this year, if the city pulls out of the district, I'm not guaranteed a job at either school despite 17 years and tenure. My heart goes out to you. It's a difficult time to be a teacher right now.
