Today seems hard to do...I overslept, forgot to eat dinner, had a frustrating (though well-meant on both sides) conversation with my mom...*sigh*

Monday's Gleee

Things that were good about today:

• Excellent discussion of Skin of Our Teeth in which we thoroughly impressed a lecturer from Columbia College whose students aren't nearly as insightful and thoughtful as mine.
  
• Excellent section of Richard II to do in class. Mmmmm.
  
• Although I had to cancel our appointment at Children's for Ben, I got an appointment for this Friday with someone ON our insurance who has lots of experience in the stuff I want to make sure the evaluator is familiar with.
  
• Popcorn!
  
• Dreamery Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Ice Cream! (Damn you, taraljc.
  
• I think my mom really does understand lots of what's going on in my head even if her instinct is to do the, "It's all okay! Be happy!" response, which doesn't work so well for me since it's just not that simple, though much of the thought and idea is well-intended and appreciated for that.
  
• Some great kid snuggling.

Things I did well today:

• Got the beta-reading I'd promised done.
  
• Got through the rest of the AP papers on A Doll House that were submitted electronically--just a few left to do on paper! And the ones I've read so far have, by and large, been phenomenal!
  
• Got follow-up calls about Ben and making appointments made.
  
• Encouraged Elf to pack up her backpack for school with a book to share and cans of food to donate.
  
• Made my kids and my students laugh.
