You know that phrase, "never a dull moment." I use to hate dull moments. I loved being busy, on task, multitasking even, but lately I would kill for a dull moment. Work has been so crazy lately. Last week was an amazingly tough week. Filled was some hard conversations with superiors, long nights, and some parent issues. This week has also been a long week. Today (Wednesday) was the first day that I got home before 9PM. You can only imagine what it's like to not see your daughter for two days. Ugh!
Anyways, so I would love a dull moment. Just one. I would love to have one day without someone having a crisis that needs to be solved, or something to be angry at me with. I would love to not be pulled out at twenty different directions. Don't get me wrong, I still love my job and all that it involves, but it has been a hard year.
What has made it even harder is the illness of my principal, Larry Martin. He is fighting cancer again. He has been out for several weeks now. I breaks my heart to think about him not being at O'Connor any longer (if that's where this ends). He was the one that hired me. He has been the biggest supporter of my program and me. He is encouraging, uplifting and smart. We definitely feel the void all over campus.
Currently, I'm counting down the days until Thanksgiving Break. That would be 7 schools day. And I'm hoping that a week off will help me recharge! I think I need it.

I used to laugh at parents when they would say they just needed a quiet moment, or they just wanted to unplug the telephone, tv and "just be." Now I TOTALLY understand what they were trying to say.
Now that I'm working nights, I feel like there are days that all I do are sleep and then work. And when I finally get to my day "off" it seems like I have missed out on so much. But I have to keep reminding myself that I am doing this for my family (just like Stuart did for 6 years) and that God isn't going to give me more than I can handle (though I truly feel like He pushed the limits sometimes). You are a great mom, wonderful teacher, humble wife...you are doing a fantastic job!
But I am glad that you got to come home early. :)
