I'm struggling a great deal with my OCD (I take meds for it). I actually believe I may have offended her which wasn't my intention. I am getting a new assistant in my classroom and she is already taking 20 days off from school for family vacations. During the time she is off, we are having visits from 3 agencies to be observed to keep our star rating. I told my director that I disagree with having her be allowed to take so much time especially during such a critical time. I just wanted her to see how much it will impact the class with her not being there and I think I overstepped my bounds. I apologized for it but it is out there now. I also told her that it was in my contract not to take more then 5 consecutive days off in a row without special person( before she got there). She said she would call the previous director and ask her which I am not sure what she will say but I hope she points out that 20 days is a lot of days when we work 10 months out of the year. I cannot stop thinking about this . Please pray my thoughts settle down and my new director hears from my old director and my new assistant cannot take all those consecutive days off.
