It's gone...
I went to the counseling session that hurt my head and eyes as i cried and cried. i think she might actually be able to help me through this. But afterwards I took some time for me. I enjoyed my time in the sun, listening to the water, and catching my breath. And that's......Read More

How do I do it all?
I've decided that i could stay up for the next 48 hours and not get all of the work done that was just piled into my lap. I love that our district is going after a grant for preschool, but when did that become my "other" job? I have meetings to attend, letters to write,......Read More
