My brain for some reason is fried-ever have a couple of days where you feel it-work, kids, body and mind are in overdrive and you are frantic and the franticness needs to stop in all areas and the crash hits. I can't begin to write the numerous things running through my brain so here is a simple list, ok not that simple. Just "Cher" ramblings that maybe writing down will give me some release of it all running through my head.
These things are not good-
Difficult parent meetings at work
Cramps
Coworker difficulties-causing me annoyance all day long
Cramps and mood swings
Emotional 5 year old because his dad is gone for 3 days/2 nights
Cramps and wings and rings
Not enough energy or perseverance to drag my behind to exercise class
Cramps and merlot/martini cravings
Homework for masters class and wondering what the heck I am doing-who is going to hire me as a principal and will there even be jobs open
My parents packing up and moving to Arizona in the near future
Cramps
28 year old teacher across the hall from me, getting married this summer-has pain and tingling in her shoulder turns out to be MS
Cramps, cramps, cramps
These things are good:
5 year old singing "Here comes the sun" while doing a puzzle together
8 year old being exceptionally kind to his brother AND mother while his dad is gone
Hearing the boys breathe while sharing my bed and room when hubby is gone-my secret selfish indulgence that I look forward to him leaving for
Merlot and martini-not in the same night of course
Playing Clue
28-year old teacher across the hall mentioned above. It is our first year working together and my first thought was that she was standoffish and not very warm-Guilty of being wrong. I enjoy her wicked sarcastic sense of humor-takes one to know one. I love her no nonsense attitude towards things and there is definitly no BSing, she tells it like it is-Hmmmmm wonder why we have connected. I am just hoping I can be there for her and help her with whatever challenges lie ahead-us control Type A people do not like being thrown curve balls that are beyone our control-her and I have had discussions on this. Ok this last paragraph wasn't a list but I feel better.

Wow, I'm sensing a pattern here....cramps?! Glad you gave in to the merlot & martini cravings, that always helps me....in moderation of course!;) Sorry to hear about your teacher friend, really is NOT fair. Does make me appreciate my good health though. I will pray for her. Hang in there! Also, know of any Pre-K Spec. ed openings in RC?
Cramps make everything worse. Merlot helps. I'm too much of a lightweight for Martinis (can only drink 1/2), but glad you took your therapy when needed. Will pray for teacher friend. MS makes a nose splint look like a walk in the park.
Which kid was singing? Would have loved to be there for that.
Chris-Yes definite pattern, I am hoping of moving out of it by the weekend. Are you considering a big move in the future? I will keep my eyes and ears open. Our sped preschools do not have much turnover.
K-Q was the singer-it is from the Bee movie I think, and he heard it on his favorite show American Idol
As far as jobs go, I am definitely weighing my options. I know now isn't the best time to try and find job in education, but yeah if you hear of anything come May, let me know.
