On My Side - In My Corner

hmitchell

 I am beginning to think this blog thing might be addictive even if noone reads it!  I have to take a moment to give kudos to my administration!  I know that at times we often get aggravated at our administrations because they just don't understand what we are going through, but after a week from well - you know where - my principal stood behind me with unwavering support.  As we come into this week, I have another situation brewing - yes I did say ANOTHER, but he is still in my corner!  I used to wonder what he would do when I made decisions - now I make them with confidence!  I know that if I have done what I am supposed to do then he will be my biggest supporter. 

I must say though that I have been a documenter ever since I began coaching simply because Debbie Bracewell told me to.  There were times when I wondered why I had done all that work because for the most part no one ever questioned the things that I had documented, but this time - I have it all documented - date, time, signature of cheerleader!  I am so glad I listened!  To those who have just started or have gotten lax with the documentation - do it for your peace of mind if for nothing else!  How can a parent, child, or administration argue with the documentation!

 This week finds me in a better place even though the hits keep coming!  I must tell you the life lesson I learned last week really is a God thing!  He knows how to get me back on my prayer knees when I get a little overconfident thinking I can do it without him.  I got the message loud and clear and I won't be getting up anytime soon!  Speaking of being on my side - I know he will always be in my corner!Here's to bad weeks or days which remind us of the important things in life!

 

Cheers!

Heather

Heather-just sending little cheer your way! Hope you have a good week! I could not agree with you more about the documentation, it really can be a life-saver!

You are so right!

The two times I had to meet with a superintendent about removing personnel, my documentation saved the day.
