Not Quite on the Dot

Today wasn't horrible or even bad, just a little off. J has been having a crazy couple of weeks with school and career fair and a sick wife all last week, so he's a little low on sleep. And last night he was up studying for two tests and I decided to start this. We were very cute, listening to my choice of music, sharing a table and snacks. Then, lo! It was ten o'clock. And my brother and I talked for awhile. And then I had to get ready for bed. By the time this lady was tucked into bed, it's was at least 11. You can say that my 6 am wake up wasn't Disney-princess cheerful.


I picked out an outfit I had already tested out. Blue sweater, grey pants, orange scarf. Yet, I just didn't feel "like a million bucks" like I was expecting. Oh well. The show rolls on and I had students to deal with. Today was English/Reading with mild special needs at the high school level. If you are having trouble picturing that, let me lay it out for you- All the kids who are sweet but who use their humor to make up for their reading level. Got em. Add a few ADHD, a few trouble makers, and a couple that are a step away from suspension and you can see my class. It was a rough one to get these kiddos to read aloud. Mind you, I understand that it isn't their best skill and therefore is embarrassing, but, man, it is exhausting. So, I survived the constant, and I do mean constant, chatter, talking, leaving seats, not returning from the nurses office, and I am thankfully taking a few detoxing breaths as, yup, my tea is steeping. 


I hope you all back home and wherever you're reading from had a smoother day than I. Plus side, I'm heading off tonight to play (or maybe just watch) dodgeball with my husband and his fraternity brothers before I go to Bible Study. The day will be redeemed. The Lord is good and gave me patience enough not to give up and flexibility enough to roll with the punches (not literally of course :))
