Friends

The last week has been really tough! Deaths, births, hospitalizations, crazy parents of students, meltdowns, tear aparts and many tears. So far, this week is much better and I think the clouds are clearing from my head. I don't want to complain because I know that there is always someone that has it much worse. There really is and I am so thankful for my family and the blessings in my life.

This week, someone commented on how many friends Tom and I have. I guess we do have a lot and for each of them, we are blessed. I started thinking about what a real friend is. I haven't been the best of friend, to anybody, lately. Work, school and family pretty much take up every moment of every day. I know this is a season and I would ask that my friends please be patient and understand that I am not snubbing them, I am just trying to get by until the end of the school year.

As I write, Laura is making guacamole for a Spanish class luncheon, tomorrow. Becca is practicing her violin and Tom is still at work. I am so grateful for these three people in my life. I can't think of a better way to spend my Wednesday evening.

Happy day.
