The ramblings of a teacher to her friends and family.

Some days I wish I would have stayed in bed...

These words from a song I learned when I was little came back to me as I sat at my computer tonight. When things get hairy and crazy in my life, those are times I wish I hadn't gotten up in the morning. I know God never gives us more than we can handle, but sometimes I think I am at my limit. I am just repeating to myself "I am taking next Friday off, I am taking next Friday off." Come to think of it, I am not sure where that song even comes from. Assistance Maryann!

I have a stye by my eye. Never knew what a stye was until today. Apparently it is this swollen, painful, red blob that grows by your eye making it very sensitive. Maybe that influenced my mood today. I don't know if my kids were really that much louder than they are normally but I felt like they were screaming all day. Maybe a stye effects your whole sensitivity, not just your eye.

I thought I had something profound to write tonight, but it turns out I don't. I am just too tired! I will go put a hot compass on my stye (mom's order) and leave the interesting discuss to all of you.

    I got one of those my first year of teaching. Nasty.

    Can't wait to be home with you.

    I got one last year. I have a scar. I'll show it to you some time. The good news is that everyone will feel sorry for you and they're "contagious" so if you want to take a couple of sick days it's a legitimate excuse. The bad news is that they hurt like the dickens.

    Bec's I feel for ya. Seriously they can't give you a day or three? The upside is you're really stylin' now.

    You can't get rid of it. That's the other bad news. They're kinda like a cold-sore. Misery. Hope it's better today
