A little bit less of me!

Random stuff....

  • I am already missing hanging out with the girls. It was such a great weekend. Seeing all the new "babies" was awesome and yet another reminder of what seems so unreachable.

  • I've been sick for over a week now. I have always suffered with bad sinus infections. I'm allergic to just about everything, but have learned to live with it and can usually find ways to shorten the life of it and feel better. This time... notsomuch. I just can't shake it. I even gave in and went to the Dr (which, I never do for this as I am the queen of self-diagnosis and self-medicate) and I have yet to find relief. I am taking all medications, using my neti pot, and trying to get as much rest as humanly possible. I can't take much more.

  • I got a new student today. (M). We had the "meet & greet" last week. I was informed by his mother that he may not be around long due to some probation violations. He is looking at some time "in" as soon as his court date rolls around. And let me tell ya... there was no "honeymoon" period with this kid. He tested every limit and pulled out all his tricks on day one. It was exhausting. I don't see any chance of reaching this kid before he leaves to "do his time" on the inside. It's a sad case of enabled defiance due to so-called necessary neglect. And let me say... I can't fathom this kid making it in jail. He has no concept of what he's facing and I don't see it ending well. I'll be surprised if he returns when he's done.

  • I'm supposed to be looking forward to vacation next week... I should be excited and anticipating fun.... but alas, life is not always sunshine and roses.

  • My grandmother's health is slowly declining. She is having a really bad week, and I am having a really hard time dealing with the fact that I cannot help because I am sick. I need her to bounce back from this... again. I know that my time with her is limited, but I can't fathom any time without her. I know it's purely selfish... but I AM NOT READY to let go. Not now, not yet. Not before Julia.
Sorry for such a downer post... such is life. It's not all good, but makes you appreciate the times that are.

~See u on the flip side... have a good week.

I'm sorry things are kind of crappy right now. I hope you are able to get some rest on your vacation and get to feeling better. Your grandma will be in my prayers.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandma and all the other things that are going on right now. Hopefully you will be able to enjoy your vacation and come back refreshed and renewed!

I feel your pain, my dear.

Hang in there. I'm glad you're going to get a break from work for a while. As difficult as it is to go through this season with your grandmother, I hope you will take comfort in spending time with her and the rest of your family members. That's what I remember as being the best part of the last few months with my Tata.

((hugs))

Hugs to you my friend. I know your feelings of not wanting to let go of your grandma, I have those exact feelings everyday. She as well as you are in my prayers.
