Another Thursday. I decided after almost a week of not tending to things at home that it was time to do laundry, etc. This weekend is my son-in-law's brother's wedding. I am part of it, if only to help control the ring bearer and flower girl. The rehearsal and dinner tomorrow evening, the wedding and reception on Saturday, and the reunion at Turkey Run State Park on Sunday will make for a full weekend.
School has been chaotic. Trying to stay ahead of the special needs kids' special needs, the football team's need to be accountable (with grades) to the coach...and the fact that there are going to be a BUNCH of unhappy parents when report cards come out in two weeks because a number of kids failed to turn in a 50-point essay that they had 1 1/2 weeks to do... Of course, it will be MY fault. I also had a student announce to a class previous to mine that he wanted to blow his brains out because he had nothing to live for... His mother abandoned him at birth and his father is a jerk. Still, he creates problems for himself in a bid to get attention however he can get it. I feel like I stamp out brushfires all day long. And people wonder why I come home so tired!
I found out quite by accident that my daughter is sick and the grandchildren are getting that way. Don't hear much from Muncie these days, and it creates a new set of circumstances for me. Once upon a time, my life was somewhat defined. Now, I am struggling to find my way all by myself. Do we feel sorry for me yet??
Burn-out, thy name is Peggy!
