Well, I did it. I survived the day. I was so overwhelmed today, at school. I have a new student, files are being audited, I don't have enough paras, I have so much paperwork to do it's not funny, but God is good and I made it through the day. I keep telling myself that I am lucky to have a job, so I better stop complaining about the one I have been given. Let's see, something good that happened today. Oh yeah, Becca greeted me at the door with a gigantic hug. Tom kissed me hello. I stuck to my low cal foods today. I got up at 6:15 after this long vacation. I heard encouragement from Jen Janus. My mom called to tell me thanks for pictures and how pretty my children are. I am loved.
An interesting thing happened this evening as I was giving a violin lesson to one of my favorite little boys. He looked at me and asked "Mrs. Russell, do you call giving violin lessons "work"?" I realized that I do not. I just say that I am "giving a lesson". I have never called it work. I think when you are doing something you love, it does not seem like work. I wonder if teaching SPED will ever not seem like work.
There now, peace and gratitude at the end of this day. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all.

Glad, again, that you're back, Shari! I'm having a hard time finding the peace and gratitude lately, myself (or at least not till I'm in bed). Thanks for helping put me in the right frame of mind! Way to go on eating healthy and surviving the first days back.
