Long Week

I just finished completing the first complete week back to school for this semester.

I'm sitting down now, on a break from trying to tidy up the house a bit before it gets utterly out of control--you know, that "all hope is gone" status that it hits from time to time during a busy semester--and I'm not sure I even have the time to make the time to do this!

It's been a long week, and I'm tired.

I came home with a bit of a headache, though I'm glad to say that it is all but gone now, but now I can't help but think about my sore throat--is this something serious coming on or just a mild case of allergies?--and the already full "To Do" list for tomorrow--and I'm wondering if I'll get a chance to slow down a bit this weekend.

It's only 9:30 p.m., but this new school day schedule--complete with getting Psalm completely ready and out the door by 7:25 a.m.--means that I've been getting to school with plenty of time before class (Yay!) and that I have to get up between 6:30-6:45 every day (Boo!).

But as much as I don't like to publicly admit it, I do rather like getting to school in plenty of time to brew my morning coffee.

It's been a long week, though a GOOD week, but I'm tired.

I started taking my Vitamin B12 again this week--this makes Day 2. I know I'll need it with the schedule I'm keeping this fall. I've taken to drinking 2-3 cups of coffee at work, and that seems to do some good, honestly. But we still haven't started Psalm's dance schedule yet.

It's interesting with Psalm. Now I have so many more details to look after: "Does she have everything? Her backpack? Lunch money? When is she supposed to bring snacks? I need to come to school with Tylenol?" There's always something in my mind about what she needs or "Is it 2:45?" because I'm still a bit paranoid about not getting to school in time to pick her up.

She asks me to pick her up every day. So that's what I intend to do, with the Lord's help. I know she won't always want and need me in her life in that way. I'm trying to cherish every moment I have.

I'm sorry this entry isn't more interesting--though I don't know why I'm apologizing, exactly. Or to whom I'm apologizing. I know this isn't one of my "SUPER ENERGY-CHARGED INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGES" or anything, but, really...it's me, too.

I don't think people realize that all of the time. I like to put that cheerful, smiley face out there all of the time, do my ultra-best to contribute to the POSITIVITY of the world, but sometimes I'm just tired.

You know, it's been a long week.
