A mere 5-6 hours and I’m awake, sans alarm.   Whenever I’m in shape and active, I don’t need to sulk away in bed, sleeping my worries away. I sure miss that.  Yoga was sped up but completed and I felt stretched out.  

The day, while it started off well for a Monday, quickly plummeted.   In taking accountability, I’m not sure if it is all imagined or my super-sensitivity, but I was told that questions were being asked about me, which put me on guard.  Here is my truth – I have been going above and beyond what is expected of me here, though perhaps not to the extent of my former school (200 hours of unpaid work within a 5 week period – which I shall not do again).  I have also had unpleasant run-ins with an employee here, all which I reported, though it should have perhaps been to my union rep.  I  hate these types of situations.

Needless to say – I am on a daily countdown.            (9 days til Spring Break, 47 (I believe) until summer.  I picked the kids up and honestly, after an “I don’t like that” regarding my dinner proposal, I was in tears.  They're big kids – they can figure out what they want to make, so I gathered school supplies and headed off.  I called Olivia, so I could vent.  I knew, after yesterday’s “high” that it wouldn't last forever, but I didn’t expect it to be within 24 hours.

School.  I left early after Mags had stressors.  Apparently Annie peed on her comforter.  To a good home –  2 dogs.  

I can’t believe today was only one day.  I’m ready for summer.
