oh goodness. Here we are, almost a month in between posts. If you know anything about me (which, I'm assuming you do, since you choose to read this), that means I'm either super stressed or I've been incredibly busy living life. I'm relieved to report that it is mostly the latter, although there is some stress in my life. But, I'm solely responsible for the growth and development of 9 miniature humans. Who wouldn't be stressed about that a little bit?!?!
Anywho, like I said, I've been SO busy living, and loving life! A quick recap:
lots of family time, lots of dispatching, lots of grading, lots of lesson planning, lots of traveling, lots of late nights, lots of counting down until breaks, lots of smiles, lots of laughter. lots of joy.
not much sleep, not much relaxation, not much alone time, not much quiet, not much productivity.
If I had to sum up the past month of my life in one word, I'd choose joy. My life has been so filled with joy. No, my life isn't perfect. But I'm trying to be more optimistic about the not so great things.
I really have no purpose or plan for this post, if you couldn't tell. Usually I do, but I'm so scatter brained that this could go in so many directions. I could gush about Calypso for an entire post, but I feel like I've already done that before. Plus, that would mean I actually have feelings invested and we can't be having that! I could talk about the changes at school and how I'm now teaching all subjects to my 3rd-5th graders and how happy I am to be doing so, but how the work load has doubled (seriously). I could talk about my family, and how I've gotten to see all of them within the past 6 weeks, which is rare in the middle of the school year. I could talk about visiting my grandma and possibly giving her the last hug I'll ever get from her. I could talk about the millions of thoughts I've been having about thousands of different things as I've driven or flown thousands of miles in the past 6 weeks.
But I feel I've provided enough updates for the time being, via my sporadic open ended thoughts. Who knows. It's late, I'm tired, and just want to see Calypso. Gah, there are those feelings and emotions and crap!
