Work has been really hard this week. I'm teaching a high school math resource class that has a lot of students with behavioral problems in it, and it's pretty exhausting. Sometimes some of the students can be pretty mean when they're upset, and after it happening again and again I just feel like I've been beaten up. I get way too emotionally involved in trying to help them and be nice to them, so when they fire back at me in a mean way it's especially hurtful. A lot of that went on this week, and so I'm just extremely tired physically and emotionally.
Halfway through the day I texted Ben saying "I want to watch a movie. I want to forget about school. And I want to eat something really good." Hahaha ;) So he secretly got off early from work, went to the store to get cookie dough and a "I love my teacher" box of chocolates, and went home and cleaned up the house and got a movie ready. So when he picked me up from work and brought me home, I walked inside to see a clean house, and he gave me the chocolates, put some cookies in the oven, and turned on a movie. It was exactly what I needed to foget about the week. Ben is the best. He always takes care of me, and knows how to make me feel better. I'm lucky to have him. :)

That is literally the most sweet and romantic thing I have ever heard of! Way to go Ben! I'm sorry that your week was hard Rebecca. The only consolation I can offer is that they will finally appreciate you when they're older and wiser.
